Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM) Vases and Vessels
German
Known by just KPM, the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur company has been synonymous with exquisite porcelain works fit for nobility and royalty for over 200 years. KPM porcelain plates, centerpieces and sculptures are painstakingly formed through ages-old techniques and meticulously painted by hand, producing one-of-a-kind quality.
KPM began in Berlin in 1763, founded by King Frederick II of Prussia, after two other entrepreneurs had been unsuccessful in establishing porcelain manufacturing companies in Germany. In 1878, KPM developed a relationship with the Chemical-Technical Research Institute and its director, Hermann Seger. This partnership gave KPM early access to advances in porcelain production and coloration.
KPM flourished under the banner of royal ownership until 1918, when it became a state-run entity after the monarchy was disbanded following Germany’s loss in World War I. With the rise of the Nazi Party in the 1930s, many of the company’s top designers and directors were dismissed, denied exhibitions or forced to flee Germany due to Jewish heritage or loyalty to Jewish colleagues. In 1943, an Allied bombing raid destroyed the KPM factory, and the company was not reestablished until after the war.
KPM reopened in Franconia and began producing porcelain wares. Some staff also worked on reconstructing the historic KPM site in Berlin. In 1957, manufacturing returned to the original company premises.
KPM rebounded over the next few decades. In 2006, in a step to privatize companies throughout the country, German financier Jörg Woltmann bought the organization.
Since its privatization, the company has opened many galleries and shops around Germany and has worked in collaboration with notable brands like Bottega Veneta and Bugatti motor company in recent years.
Although rooted in the Rococo style, KPM has adapted its craft to meet the current trends, all while maintaining the highest levels of excellence throughout its centuries of operation. It continues to produce lavish, elegant porcelain works for elite clientele the world over.

Petite Loetz Glass Vase circa 1901 Austrian Jugendstil Blue Green Purple
By Loetz Glass
Located in Klosterneuburg, AT
Glass vase manufactured by Johann Loetz Witwe PG 1/158 decoration ca. 1901 Austrian Jugendstil
This vase is an excellently preserved and exquisite specimen, which illustrates the high art of glassblowing from the manufacturer Loetz. The decoration from the Phenomen Genre family is characterized mainly by the contrasting and matte iridescence, which show new qualities in their color gradient with each incidence of light. The veined and irregularly warped bands with their slightly silvery shimmer are particularly striking.
What is exciting is that especially the decoration “PG 1/158” – originally composed of two different decorations – unfolds completely new on each form and thus gives each shape of vase something unique. Through the use of the base in the color green in combination with the different curvatures and indents of this filigree vase...
