KPM Berlin and the Sandmännchen share the same values: both are based on traditional craftsmanship. Like KPM Berlin porcelain, which has been made by hand in our manufactory in Berlin's Tiergarten district for 260 years, the Sandman is also handcrafted. The Sandman is also made by hand - from the figure and set design to the stop-motion moving image. The porcelain figure thus embodies the perfect symbiosis of two renowned Berlin cultural assets. Good night!
