Literature:
- Lorenz, Angelika (ed.): Berliner Porzellan 1763-1850, Glanz und Eleganz auf Tischen und Tafeln, exhib. cat. Westfälisches Landesmuseum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte September 24, 2006 to January 7, 2007, Münster 2006, pp. 66 and 76-78.

The plate presented here was part of a service ordered by Frederick the Great in 1768 for his palace in Berlin. 36 sets were delivered in the same year, in 1773 a further 72 dinner plates were ordered.
The colourful "natural flowers and few insects" that the king wanted for his new porcelain were intended to make the guests at the table feel transported to an exquisite garden. In contrast to other services in the "Reliefzierath" style, the relief elements in this design are not emphasised with gold or colors. The large surfaces of white porcelain radiate brightly, creating a light, graceful, even spring-like impression.
