An important Berlin KPM porcelain vase with a view of the Kreuzbergdenkmal

Of "redensche" form, fired in two pieces and screw-mounted. Decorated to the display side with a depiction of the cast iron Kreuzberg monument and Berlin in the background, presumably after a painting by Carl Daniel Freydanck. The other side bears six, winged male figures beneath lancet arches as allegories of the battles of Groß-Görschen, Katzbach, Culm, Groß-Beeren, Dennewitz, and Leipzig. Blue sceptre mark to the underside of the replaced base. The lower section of the body restored over a breakage. H 43 cm.
Berlin KPM, circa / shortly after 1821.

The national monument to the 1813 German campaign was made from Berlin cast iron and dedicated by King Frederick William III in the presence of Tsar Alexander I on 30th March 1821. The architecture was designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Johann Heinrich Strack, and the decorative details by Christian Daniel Rauch, Friedrich Tieck, and Ludwig Wichmann.
