Antique German Porcelain Incense Burners, 1800s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Pair of antique German porcelain perfume burners from the 19th century. Pair of rare perfume burners with romantic Watteau decoration in German porcelain, from the KPM Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur in Berlin, dating back to the second decade of the 19th century. The two objects in full Rococo style are made up of a shaped base on which the oval-shaped stove with the central hole for the wick is placed. Four volute-shaped uprights support the container of essences in the shape of a sort of tureen with handles, equipped with a perforated lid with a pine cone knob.

The porcelain has a white background with rich gold decorations and has two tableaus on the larger sides with painted gallant scenes illuminated in Watteau style, while on the sides of the larger diameter we find floral decorations, as well as on the lid together with painted ladybugs. On the bottom, in blue, the mark representing the scepter of the Berlin manufacture relating to 1820-1830 and the imprinted numbers 5 and 6.

In good condition, no chipping, only minimal gilding and a restoration on one handle.

About the Maker

KPM

The Royal Porcelain Factory in Berlin (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin in German)—abbreviated as KPM and also known as the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin—was founded in 1763 by King Frederick II of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great. The KPM logo is a cobalt blue sceptre, which is stamped on every piece. All painted pieces produced by KPM are signed by the painter. Each piece is handmade and therefore unique. KPM is still producing in Berlin today.

Throughout its long history, KPM has regularly commissioned outstanding artists and designers to create porcelain pieces collections. In the 19th century, these included Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Christian Daniel Rauch, and Johann Gottfried Schadow. In the 20th century, Gerhard Marcks, Trude Petri, Marguerite Friedlaender, Wolf Karnagel, and Enzo Mari pioneered designs for the manufactory. Services such as the neoclassical Kurland, the New Objectivity-style Urbino, and the Bauhaus-style Arkadia remain immensely popular.
