KPM Porcelain
KPM Porcelain Tile Female Portrait Signed Wagner - 19th Century

19th Century

About the Item

Beautifully Painted Porcelain tile signed “Wagner” lower right. The work rests in an ornate gilded frame with a rose-colored velvet liner. The work is in mint condition with no repairs. An impressed scepter monogram is seen on the verso with the letters “K.P.M.” The royal scepter accompanied by the initials KPM clearly identifies this painted porcelain tablet as a work of the renowned Berlin porcelain factory (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin), active since the 1860s, when Frederick II took it over from Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. The plaque measures 7 3/8"h x 5 1/2"w. The frame is 13 1/2"h x 11 1/2"w. The subject is a young beauty with an embellished dress and headdress. A wonderful work created in the late 19th Century - circa 1875. KPM, or Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur ('Royal Porcelain Factory' in English), is Berlin’s oldest porcelain factory and Germany’s second oldest. It was founded in 1763 and continues to produce porcelain to this day. In the 18th and 19th Centuries, KPM specialized in the production of porcelain dinner services, figurines, painted plaques, vases and more. They were particularly associated with the popular mid-18th Century Rococo style, and with its replacement by the more austere Neoclassicism of the early 19th Century. Antique KPM porcelain wares from these periods are widely collected and sought-after today. Across the 18th and 19th Centuries, KPM was one of Europe’s most consistently commercially successful ceramics enterprises. It also benefited from important financial backing: first from the Prussian crown, and later from the unified German state. It was because of its close associations with the state that the name KPM – along with Meissen – would become synonymous with German porcelain, just as with Sevres in France, Royal Worcester in England and Royal Vienna in Austria.
