It was founded in 1763 and continues to produce porcelain to this day. In the 18th and 19th Centuries, KPM specialised 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. The Royal Porcelain Factory, BerlinDispirited by the failure of Berlin’s porcelain industry, King Frederick II – also known as Frederick the Great – took the drastic move of taking over the factory himself. He poured large sums of money into the new factory and renamed it the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin ("Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin"). He also granted the factory the use of its now-famous emblem, his royal sceptre.
