The Cadre is the last design developed by Trude Petri for KPM Berlin; its entry in the model book from 1967 is still listed under the name “Vase Tee.” This is because the Cadre design was originally developed Cadre 1945 as a tea canister with a lid for the URBINO service. Starting in 1984, the vase was referred to as “Quadre” in reference to its shape; today, it is simply calledCadre.”

The sun is rising! Just in time for spring, KPM Berlin is launching the Heritage Édition Maréchal Niel—five products handcrafted at the Tiergarten, all featuring the same design: a delicate yellow rose motif blooms on the KURLAND To-Go cup, the Cadre 0, 1, and 2, and the Vide Poche. The rose, named after the French Marshal Niel, was one of Empress Auguste Victoria’s favorite flowers—her future husband, Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, courted her with this rose. It also appears repeatedly in portraits of the empress. As patroness of the Society of Rose Lovers, Auguste Victoria was a particularly devoted admirer of this genus of flowers.
Reason enough for KPM’s master painters to transfer the rose onto porcelain with delicate brushstrokes. The interplay between the rose painting and details in 24-karat polished gold lends this edition a fresh elegance. The Cadre Édition Maréchal Niel is available in a limited edition of 50 pieces, each individually numbered.
