Im Spiegel, im Inselstil, die feingemalte Darstellung der trauernden Klymene am Grab ihres Sohnes Phaeton. Um die monumentale Grabsäule mit bekrönender Urne und Spruch, die zu Pappelbäumen erstarrten Sonnentöchter, die Schwestern des Phaeton. Im Hintergrund der von Apoll zu einem Schwan verwandelte ligurische König Kyknos. Blaumarke Zepter, Pressnummer 13. D 24,8 cm.Berlin, KPM, 1783.Im Januar 1783 gab der König ein Service bei der Manufaktur in Auftrag, welches ausschließlich seinen geliebten ovidischen Metamorphosen gewidmet sein sollte. Friedrichs Leidenschaft für die römisch-griechischen Mythologien spiegelte sich nicht nur in der Gestaltung von Porzellan, sondern auch in zahlreichen Gemälden und Interieur, wie z.B. im Ovidsaal in den Neuen Kammern oder dem Konzertzimmer in Schloss Sanssouci. Wie bei vielen anderen Servicen hatte der König auch hier exakte Vorstellungen über die Umsetzung des Dekors, welcher der Vorlage des französischen Kupferstichwerks "Les Métamorphose d'Ovide" (1767 - 1771) von Pierre Basan folgte. Bereits im Dezember 1783 wurde das Service auf Schloss Sanssouci geliefert und ist in den dortigen Inventaren der Silberkammer verzeichnet.ProvenienzSammlung Renate und Tono Dreßen.LiteraturVgl.

In the background is Cycnus, King of Liguria, who was transformed into a swan by Apollo. Blue sceptre mark, pressnummer 13. D 24.8 cm.1783.In January 1783, King Friedrich II placed an order with the manufactory for a service which was to be exclusively decorated with scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses, which he loved. The king's passion for ancient Greek and Roman mythology not only found its expression in porcelain designs, but also in the numerous paintings which decorated the interiors of his castles, such as the concert room and the Ovid Gallery in the New Chambers of Sanssouci. As with his many other services, the king had a precise idea in mind of how he wanted it to be decorated. The designs were to be based on the engravings from the French work "Les Métamorphose d'Ovide" (1767 - 1771) by Pierre Basan. The service was delivered to Sanssouci Palace in December 1783 and is listed in the inventory of the silver chamber.ProvenanceCollection of Renate and Tono Dreßen.LiteratureCf.
