Editorial Review:
KPM plaques paintings on porcelain produced by Berlin Konigliche Porzellan Manufaktur (KPM) were a complete phenomenon of European artistic culture, developed throughout the nineteenth century up until the beginning of the twentieth. These treasures are a rare find in todays artistic world. KPM Plaques: Gaining an Insight into the Art of Painting on Porcelain covers a broad variety of questions and concepts never-before addressed in any literature. The development of KPM plaques is discussed in direct relation to the development of art in those times, as well as to the changes in artistic styles and tastes. The book also gives detailed advice on the recognition of false marks and answers a variety of common questions regarding authenticity as well as comparing and recognizing quality of painting. In addition, the book is richly illustrated with photos of plaques and miniatures, many of which are rare and are being presented to the public for the first time. Most of these paintings on KPM and continental plaques are described in detail. A unique insight into the art of painting on porcelain, this book will prove useful for anyone who would like to investigate the arts past, present, and future. Collecting paintings on porcelain plaques, particularly those produced the KPM factory, has become quite a popular and widespread hobby. KPM Plaques: Gaining an Insight into the Art of Painting on Porcelain addresses many questions asked by old and new collectors, and discusses information relating to the history of plaques and miniatures, various subject descriptions, value determinants and techniques in distinguishing the authenticity of KPM plaques. Illustrated with hundreds of high-quality photographs, this book is like a work of art itself.

Rating: - A Must for any KPM or Porcelain Plaque Collector!!!
A wonderful "must have" reference book for anyone who likes or collects KPM, Hutschenreuther or similar porcelain plaques.

The only reference of its kind that I know of, it also has critical chapters on how to determine authentic vs. fake KPM plaques, a topic not adequately addressed ... Read More
Rating: - The Best Art of Painting on Porcelain Resource I've Found!
As a professional antique dealer, I've often tried to find information on fine oil paintings on porcelain. There is a crazy patchwork of information out there which is often incomplete and contradictory. THIS book has it all, but particulary helpful to the dealer/professional and collector are the sections dealing with determining value as well as how to authenticate the various works and spotting forgeries. I am thrilled to have found such a valuable book and plan to use it often as both a buyer ... Read More
