The 'Bayerische Königsservice" that is painted in blue and white and accentuated with gold
was commissioned at the Manufaktur Nymphenburg on the occasion of the 50th edding
anniversary of King Ludwig III. and Queen Marie Therese Archduchess of Austria-Este. As a
Bavarian service it wears the national colours of the free state. The splendour service
was designed by Dominikus Auliczek for the manufacturer and orriginally comprised 326
pieces. These featured painted landscapes and buildings to which the royal couple had a
personal relationship. Contained in round reserves the pieces are adorned in Speia
Camaieau. As basic form it does not have the usual circle-form but a dodecagon. The rims
of the service pieces are each adorned by a plastically carved out pearl row - this is why
the service was first called 'Das Perlservice' ('the pearl service').
