KPM
KPM Berlin produces exclusively by hand, using a process handed down for over 260 years. The decorations are painted freehand, making every piece unique. Before a product receives the trademark cobalt blue sceptre, it has to go through numerous strict quality controls.
In 1763 Frederick the Great founded the Royal Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin; he gave the manufactory its name and his symbol, the royal sceptre. Twenty one services with up to 500 individual pieces were commissioned by Frederick the Great himself for his palaces: the Reliefzierat, Neuzierat, Rocaille and Neuosier models were developed, their designs and colours matching the interiors of the palaces. High ranking guests of the Federal President still dine from the Rocaille service at Bellevue Palace.
