At table

Evening tour of the special presentation "The flower(s) of Classicism" with Eva Wollschläger, curator of the KPM Archive, SPSG

Gedeckte Tafel im Potsdamer Marmorpalais – Gedeckte Tafel im Potsdamer Marmorpalais

This summer, visitors to the Marble Palace in the New Garden can look forward to an extraordinary table set with a festive service decorated with flowers from the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin (KPM). The tableware, produced in 1795 for King Frederick William II, not only set new artistic accents in the design of courtly service, it is also evidence of a politically turbulent time. In an exclusive guided tour, we offer you the opportunity to learn more about the background of this unusual service creation. At dinnertime, we will invite you to "Zu Tisch" and give you an insight into Prussian table culture: What were the knives used for and why is the flower decoration called "fleurs en terrasse"?

After the tour, we will serve you a small snack in the summer café at the Egyptian Portal of the Orangery in the New Garden, where you will have the opportunity to end the evening with a refreshing drink.
