ABOUT KPM BERLIN

Founded in 1763 by King Frederick II of Prussia, KPM Berlin is celebrated worldwide for producing “white gold”—fine, translucent porcelain of the highest quality. KPM became synonymous with artistic excellence, and all authentic pieces bear the prestigious blue scepter mark. Painted pieces were often signed by the artist, as is the case with this figurine.
ABOUT R. MOLLER

Reinhard Moller (1855–1912) was a distinguished sculptor and professor of ceramics at the Porcelain Industry Technical School in Thuringia, Germany. His work as a modeler and painter for German porcelain manufacturers is highly collectible today, representing the golden age of European ceramic artistry.
