HANDMADE IN BERLIN

Berlin water, Berlin hands, Berlin heart: after moving to the border of Tiergarten, the manufactory was located directly on the River Spree, had its own harbour and was therefore perfectly connected by water. The porcelain from the capital thus found its way to the rest of Germany. To this day, the entire Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin range - every cup, every jug, every egg cup - is made in the heart of the city. The most important ingredient: Berlin tap water.

PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE

Generations of expertise and a passion for porcelain make the employees of the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin a key asset – a responsibility also to be borne by subsequent generations. As a traditional Prussian workshop, it is only natural that the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin is also an exemplary training company.

WHITE SPLENDOUR

The Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin has used a secret formula of natural, mineral raw materials for centueries. By mixing kaloin, feldspar and quartz the characteristic porcelain paste is made from which the bright white treasures are created. White Gold by KPM Berlin is German craftmanship at its best.

THE LEGACY OF A KING

It is important to safeguard and pass on the traditions of KPM Berlin. The challange lies in exploring new artistic directions without compromising the traditional values. Our respect for this cultural heritage from the time of Frederick the Great is based on a vision and the courage to be innovative.

HANDLE WITH CARE

For the gilding, 24-carat burnish gold is used: this is very finely powdered real gold, brought millimetre by millimetre to a highgloss finish with an agatetipped tool, and in the case of the more sumptuous decorations often fi nely engraved as well. Time is precious – we take a lot of it and use it to manufacture our porcelain according to longstanding tradition and with the greatest meticulousness and dedication.

UNRIVALLED & EVER-LASTING

At KPM Berlin, all decorations are painted by hand. Whether naturalistic flower paintings or geometric monograms, each painter determines the individual design of a theme themselves. With KPM Individuell, customers can commission their own personal motifs and thus help to create small works of art. Hand painting has been labelled with an orb since 1832: in red it stands for flower painting, in green for decorative painting and in blue for inglaze painting.

LIASON WITH ART

New perspectives and space for creativity: With the format KPM+ the company has been inviting artists from different genres to collaborate on a regular basis. The idea: creating new classics with a contemporary aesthetic, combining experimental approaches with traditional craftsmanship and thinking outside the box. Artists such as Eike König, Stefan Marx, Rona Kobel and Anna Haifisch have already enriched the portfolio.

THE SCEPTRE TRADEMARK

Frederick the Great took over the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur in 1763 from a Berlin businessman, Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. The King of Prussia gave the porcelain works their name and their royal insignia – the royal blue sceptre. Since then, the sceptre has become a trademark known all over the world as signifying porcelain of finest quality and consummate form – made in Germany.
