How do you identify KPM porcelain?

1 Answer
How do you identify KPM porcelain?
To identify KPM porcelain, first find the maker's marking on your piece. The German manufacturer used different markings over the years, including an eagle, a scepter, an orb on a cross and its KPM initials. Pieces produced after 1925 may also have "Germany" or "Bavaria" accompanying these stamps. By comparing the markings on your piece to images shared on trusted online resources, you can often determine whether it is KPM porcelain and approximately when it was made. Should you have any difficulty, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can be of assistance. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of KPM porcelain.
