Description from the seller
Rare desk set entirely handmade by KPM Berlin in porcelain.
The set consists of a tray, a pen holder, an inkwell, and a powder-fixative holder.
All pieces of the set are hand-painted and in good condition. They have no breaks, but there are some losses of the gold edging along the border. On the tray there are some black marks, probably due to rubbing from other objects on the surface.
Very beautiful details; atop the powder holder is molded a fruit with very beautiful shaded colors. Above each item are hand-painted flowers.
Dimensions:
Tray 28.5 x 21 x 3.5
Powder-fixative holder 6.7 x 5.5 x 5
Inkwell 6 x 7 x 5
Pen holder 10.5 x 6
Probably late 18th century.
The legend with the various KPM marks is attached, as 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.
