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-Meistermalerei to transfer the rose onto porcelain with fine brushstrokes. The interplay between the rose painting and details in 24-carat polished gold lends the edition a fresh elegance. The Vide Poche Édition Maréchal Niel comes in a limited edition of 75 pieces and is individually numbered.
