To mark the 260th anniversary of KPM Berlin, as a tribute to its eventful creative history and one of its most important designers to date, Marguerite Friedlaender-Wildenhain, the Berlin porcelain manufactory has brought out a real rarity of New Objectivity with its re-edition of the aviator cup . The special feature of the captivating design, which absolutely embodies Friedlaender-Wildenhain's creative premise: The stand ring of the espresso cup and the recess of the saucer interlock perfectly, creating a duo that is perfect in terms of function and form and is non-slip and non-tipping.
The original of the espresso cup, re-edited by the KPM master workshop, was once created as a pure design study by the porcelain designer as part of a commissioned work by the former Halle-Leipzig airline and was not commercially available. This makes it a true rarity of its time and a must for all lovers and collectors of timeless Bauhaus aesthetics.
