His floral design bursts with vivid hues, each petal and leaf delicately rendered to capture the beauty of nature. The work is flawless in its execution, providing a splendid example of the creativity and technical genius of one of KPM's top porcelain artists.
Paintings on porcelain by KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur), Berlin’s royal porcelain manufactory, are some of the most important and extraordinary works of art in the world. First crafted in Europe during the middle of the 19th century, porcelain plaques such as this one are very difficult to produce, as ceramic paints do not attain their final color until after firing. Ernst Wilhelm Sager (1788-1837) was taught the art of porcelain painting by the esteemed Prof. Gottfried Völker, who was head of flower painting at KPM beginning in 1821. Sager would become as revered as his teacher after 1825, succeeding him as head of flower painting and completing many important royal commissions. A very similar table to this one was painted by Sager in 1831 and presented to Queen Caroline of Bavaria, mother-in-law of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
