She displayed most of the historic porcelain - that she inherited from various members of her and her husband's families - as part of a scientific display in the Naturalia Cabinet in the Karlsruhe Residence. The collection is listed in her posthumous inventory, which is repeated in that of her son, Karl Ludwig von Baden-Durlach (1755-1801). The porcelain was exhibited from 1879 in the same rooms in the Grand Ducal Residence in Karlsruhe that had contained the Naturalia Cabinet and is listed in an inventory of 1883 by Karl Koelitz. When the last Grand Duke of Baden abdicated in 1918, this collection was considered the family's private property and, in 1919, it was moved to the Neues Schloss, Baden-Baden, where - from around 1960 - it was on public display as part of the Zähringer Museum.
