About the Item

This 19th century artwork was executed in enamel on porcelain by noted KPM artist Wagner. The piece is titled 'Erinnerungen', translated as 'Memories'. The painting has a wistful romantic theme and depicts a dark haired young woman in reverie. The girl wears a heart shaped gold locket suspended from a rose colored ribbon and a chocolate colored gown finished with embroidered rose colored sleeves accented by white ruffles. The young woman is seated on a stone bench within a walled garden and holds an open book in her lap as she gazes into the distance with the hint of a smile on her face. The 'lovers' theme is echoed in a stone tablet set into the garden wall which shows a Roman soldier with his arm around a woman as they Stand beside a tree. The quality of the painting is exceptional - note the bird in the branches to the upper right of the image in addition to the myriad of other details Wagner has included, all of which serve to make this unusual piece a standout. The plaque is marked to the verso with the impressed "KPM" scepter mark along with the numbers "150", "203" and "45". The title of the piece is also present in hand lettered red paint. The artist's name appears on the face of the artwork at the lower right, best seen in image 7. The visible portion of the plaque is 7.75" by 5.5". The dimensional carved frame is 11.25" x 9" x 2.25". The framed artwork weighs in at 2 lbs 6 oz. This piece displays beautifully and would be a wonderful addition to a collection of KPM plaques, or works equally well as a Stand alone decorative accent. A Fine example by a sought after artist.

Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM)

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.
