URBINO
The URBINO-sideside dish bowl from KPM Berlin playfully varies the spherical and circular shapes typical of the famous KPM service. It is also a contemporary interpretation of the so-called "cabarets" of the 19th century. This was the name given at the time to the bowls divided down the middle, which were also produced at the Royal Porcelain Manufactory. The URBINO-sideside dish bowl fulfills a dual purpose: it is a practical container and a practical serving dish.

In 1931, Trude Petri designed the URBINO collection. Its clarity and aesthetics, created through consistent omission, are based on the most balanced of all forms: the circle. Inspiration was also provided by the Upper Italian Renaissance and the Italian city of Urbino as the namesake of the collection. The special thinness of the pieces conveys a delicate lightness that supports everyday enjoyment.
