Antique 1915 KPM Berlin Rocaille Reticulated Compote Deutsche Blumen Porcelain Item Description
Up for your consideration is a magnificent, authentic KPM Berlin Porcelain Reticulated Compote / Tazza dating to precisely 1915. This exceptional center-pedestal masterpiece features the definitive underglaze blue scepter mark, overglaze red imperial orb mark, and the stamped red \"KPM\" initials, alongside the impressed year letter \"P\" corresponding to its historical production year.
This exceptional piece highlights the absolute peak of German porcelain mastery, modeled in KPM\'s legendary, historical Rocaille form and finished with freehand botanical decoration:
- The Rocaille Form Mold: The relief border showcases Friedrich Elias Meyer\'s celebrated 1767 design style, featuring asymmetric molded C-scrolls, sweeping flourishes, and raised shell-like detailing.
- Hand-Pierced Openwork: A luxury variation of the form, where the border showcases masterfully cut out basketweave lattice windows alternating between the relief scrolls.
- Deutsche Blumen Painting: The center bowl is meticulously hand-painted with KPM\'s iconic \"Deutsche Blumen\" (German Flowers) style, featuring vibrant, multi-colored botanical sprays and scattered butterflies executed with fine, distinct brush strokes.
- Rococo Revival Gilding: Brilliant, heavy gold leaf highlights the delicate relief work, openwork lattice trim, and accents the gracefully scalloped edge.
