Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin

Founded in 1763 by Frederick the Great, the manufactory was based on three private companies that had tried to produce porcelain in Berlin for some time. Already in 1871 the manufactory was relocated to today site at the Tiergarten. The company took up the production of painted porcelain tiles under the direction of Professor Alexander Kips and made a huge profit. After the destruction of the manufactory during the Second World War, it was the province of Berlin that took over the company in 1988. Since 2006, KPM is owned by the private banker Jörg Woltmann. To this today all porcelain is crafted almost entirely by hand and adorned with hand-painted decorations. The style-defining KPM designs can be found in the collections of many major museums.
