The Neuzierat design was a favorite of Frederick the Great, and was designed for the New Palace in Potsdam. The decorations of KPM Berlin are typically hand-painted, and the porcelain painters are free to interpret the motifs within the design specifications. The painters then sign the pieces he decorated. Thus, each piece of porcelain is a unique work of art (from Wikipedia).
