The bust of Queen Luise of Prussia was created in 1798 by KPM modeler Johann Carl Frederick , who based his design on Johann Gottfried Schadow’sPrinzessinnengruppe.” Having become Queen of Prussia only shortly before, in November 1797, KPM Berlin responded with this bust to the growing demand at the time for portraits of the young, extraordinarily popular queen. The Neoclassical bust draws on ancient models and depicts Queen Luise on a simple columnar pedestal, wearing a flowing gown and completely devoid of symbols of authority.

A bouquet in blue: with the "Édition Bleuet", KPM launches a light blue cornflower decoration. The cornflower, as simple and plain as it seems, was Queen Luise's favorite flower - she wove wreaths with her children and her grave was decorated with fresh flowers by Frederick Wilhelm.
Reason enough for KPM to transfer the flowers with almost transparent brushstrokes onto the iconic Luisen bust, which immortalizes the "good queen" with her sensitively sculpted face. The "Édition Bleuet" bust is a strictly limited edition of just 25 pieces.
