A large Berlin silver platter and ten plates made for Prince Frederick Carl of Prussia.

With the owner's monogram beneath the Prussian King's crown and the Prussian royal family's device "GOTT MIT UNS". Marks of Johann George Hossauer, 1848 - 54. Diameter 25 and 32.5 cm, total weight 6,790 g.

Friedrich Carl (1828 - 85) was the only son of Prince Karl of Prussia, one of Emperor William I's younger brothers. He married Princess Maria Anna of Anhalt-Dessau in 1854. The present works are evidently the pieces mentioned in Hossauer's log books as those created on the occasion of this marriage.
