Due to their lower production numbers and fewer surviving examples, \u003cstrong\u003esoup plates are significantly rarer than dinner plates\u003c\/strong\u003e and are particularly prized by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate is decorated in fine \u003cstrong\u003eiron red\u003c\/strong\u003e and features an elegant \u003cstrong\u003eRococo cartouche\u003c\/strong\u003e with the \u003cstrong\u003ePrussian eagle\u003c\/strong\u003e and the monogram \u003cstrong\u003e“FR” (Friedrich Rex)\u003c\/strong\u003e beneath the Prussian royal crown.

To ensure uniform furnishings in the royal and imperial palaces, the Oberhofmarschallamt had ordered large quantities of this traditional form from \u003cstrong\u003eKPM Berlin\u003c\/strong\u003e since the 1890s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Neuosier form itself was not an exclusive special commission for the imperial court but was available to the general public. The imperial version was distinguished primarily by its decoration. The well-known Berlin flower bouquets were adapted to the taste of the so-called \u003cstrong\u003e“Third Rococo”\u003c\/strong\u003e, reduced in color to an elegant \u003cstrong\u003eiron red\u003c\/strong\u003e, and complemented by the characteristic cartouche with the \u003cstrong\u003ePrussian eagle\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterestingly, this decoration also became available for commercial sale, although without the Prussian eagle. Even other European royal houses made use of the popular form. For example, the King of Italy had a similar service made with the \u003cstrong\u003eSavoy coat of arms\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003eNeuosier and Imperial-era table culture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the KPM price lists of \u003cstrong\u003e1913\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Neuosier tableware service comprised \u003cstrong\u003e55 different individual pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e, in addition to \u003cstrong\u003e14 forms for coffee and tea sets\u003c\/strong\u003e.
