To mark the 250th anniversary of Queen Louise of Prussia’s birth, the Royal Prussian Mint ( KPM Berlin ) is reissuing the bust featuring her precisely rendered likeness. The original from 1873 is modeled after the portrait bust of Crown Princess Louise of Prussia, created by Johann Gottfried Schadow in 1795. The Neoclassical bust deliberately draws on ancient models. It depicts Queen Luise draped in a flowing gown and without any symbols of sovereignty—a representation of timeless dignity and understated elegance.

To mark the 250th anniversary of Queen Luise of Prussia’s birth, KPM Berlin is launching the Heritage Edition Luise, a collection of five products handcrafted at its workshops in Tiergarten. Wallpaper motifs evoking the late 18th century adorn the “ KURLAND ” to-go mug, the “Cadre” vases 0, 1, and 2, and the “Vide Poche.” Inspired by Luise’s favorite place, Paretz Palace, KPM’s master painters have transferred exotic flowering trees, birds, and berries onto porcelain with delicate brushstrokes, lending the Luise Edition an extraordinary painterly depth. Produced in a limited edition and individually numbered, these pieces are true collector’s items.
