Relief decoration on a dessert plate from 1768

Reliefzierat is the name for a decor where the typical element of friedrizianischen Rococo as a relief not only on the flag is used (the wide edge of the plate), but also in the mirror (the center of the plate).

Plates with relief decoration have a 6-fold indented rim and thus divide the flag into six fields, three of which are decorated with tendril trellises. The typical decorative elements consist of gussets that are framed by lively, moving relief rocailles. The decor was developed by the Gotzkowsky porcelain manufacturer before 1763 and is still in use throughout. King Friedrich II was particularly fond of this decor and commissioned his own porcelain manufacture for it . These include the famous service for the Potsdam and Breslau city palaces.
