Description from the seller
Rare desk set entirely handcrafted by KPM Berlin in porcelain.
The set consists of a tray, a pen holder, an ink pot, and a fixing powder holder.
All pieces of the set are hand-painted and in good condition. They show no breaks, but some losses of the gold edge outline. On the tray, there are some black marks, probably caused by rubbing against other objects on the surface.
Very beautiful details, with a fruit modeled on the dust cover featuring very beautiful gradient colors. Hand-painted flowers are depicted on each object.
Measures
Tray 28.5x21x3.5
Dust cover 6.7x5.5x5
Ink pad 6x7x5
Pen holder 10.5 x 6 cm
Probably from the late 18th century. Attached is the legend with the various KPM marks reported on the site https://www.kpm-berlin.com/en/blogs/news/the-kpm-stamp-and-its-history
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
