(PORN 004) In 1763, Frederick the Great of Prussia founded the Royal Porcelain Kiln Factory KPM (Konigliche Porzellan-Manufaktur) in Berlin. Before the merger of East and West Germany, KPM was the state-owned porcelain workshop of West Germany, and there was a sense of competition with Meissen, the then East German porcelain workshop. In addition to selling products all over the world, German diplomatic missions often send KPM porcelain to countries with diplomatic relations. At that time, the popularity far surpassed Meissen. In the history of more than 250 years, the Berlin Royal Porcelain Kiln Factory has experienced different styles of the times, and also leads the fashion as an official kiln. In the 1930s, the newly appointed director of KPM tried to create brand-new products, transforming the design of the kiln from the original classical form into a contemporary design, so that porcelain could fit the new architectural space and be suitable for simpler modern furniture. Therefore, KPM cooperated with Marguerite Friedlaender (Marguerite Friedlaender, 1896/1985), then the head of the ceramics department at the Kunstgewerbeschule Burg Giebichenstein in Le (Halle), to design this simple and connotative cups and plates. This female craftsman, Friedlander, actually embodies the new design fashion at that time. Her hometown is in Lyon, France, her father is German-French and her mother is from England. She first studied painting and sculpture at the Berlin University of the Arts, and in 1919 she entered pottery classes at the newly founded Staatliches Bauhaus. This college, which has a profound influence on modern architecture, is no longer a simple school, but a representative of a new architectural school and style, emphasizing the integration of architectural modeling and practical functions, and even cross-border, in art, industrial design, graphic design Design, interior design and other fields, have a proud performance. Friedlander not only learned solid classical ceramic techniques at the Bauhaus, but also gradually found his own style in terms of modeling. In 1925, she left the Bauhaus, which moved to Dessau, to become head of the ceramics department at the Le Municipal University of Applied Arts. The school is located under the Burg Giebichenstein Castle in the city, so it is nicknamed Burg (Burg). It is an important university in the field of art and design in Germany. Also during this period, she cooperated with the Royal Kiln Factory in Berlin to design a tableware set called Le shape, which is the basic shape of our porcelain cup. Its modern streamlined shape, combined with the succinct gold-painted parallel lines of the sculptor and designer Trude Petri (1906~1998), who was already working in the Royal Kiln Factory in Berlin at that time, reminds people of the time when porcelain was drawn. rotation style. However, this design trend came to an end with Hitler coming to power in 1933. The Bauhaus was closed that year, and Friedlander was forced to resign her position as head of the university department in this year, and finally went to California, USA to seek asylum, and settled there, becoming a well-known potter. This guest porcelain cup has witnessed the style and appearance of the new craft thought trend in Germany from 1920 to 1930. Friedlander, a top Bauhaus student, completed the design sketch in 1930. However, she did not fully follow the Bauhaus's concept of industrial design, but incorporated the spirit of traditional craftsmanship into it. Through this tableware set, Friedlander set a new benchmark for porcelain design, and the modern shape of porcelain finally became a new reality. Before 1933, she had completed ten different tableware set designs. This Kele porcelain cup looks simple, but it shows epoch-making significance. KPM Ciyao Factory manufactures this cup with uncompromising spirit. The carcass is pure. The number of the artist on the bottom of the cup plate, as well as the pattern and floral**representing the object, are the red imperial apples made by KPM's dedicated artist. More importantly, and the key to marking the date of its manufacture, is the simple castle pattern, indicating that it was personally supervised by Friedlander, who was still the dean of the Department of Applied Arts University of Le City at that time.**The version produced or reproduced later will not have the castle pattern. *If you have any details, please send a message to contact the designer *The main products in this design hall are western antiques, old jewelry and home decorations, and old European original prints.
