REMINISCENCES The favorite flowers of Elizabeth II were lily of the valley, which appeared both in her wedding bouquet and her coronation arrangement as symbols of new beginnings, happiness, and purity. She also held sweet peas, dahlias, and yellow roses in high regard—a monarch and passionate gardener who would have turned one hundred this coming Tuesday. The Cumberland service, originally designed as a 700-piece wedding gift for Ernst August III of Hanover, a distant cousin of Elizabeth’s, delights not only those with green thumbs. Countless flowers, painted entirely freehand, adorn what is considered the most elaborate floral décor in the world. No bloom resembles another. Discovering this floral richness may not turn one into royalty, but certainly into a horticultural enthusiast. During teatime in Elizabeth’s honor on April 21, take a moment to observe poppies, tulips, asters, and the occasional butterfly or beetle on your Cumberland piece. With a little luck, April may even be in a good mood, allowing you to enjoy it all in the garden. |

PREMIERE Curtain up for a guest performance. The piece is titled “The MCM Diamond Cup”—a collaboration between two Munich institutions. To mark the 50th anniversary of MCM, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg has designed an exclusive cup together with the former pop culture fashion icon. Inspired by MCM’s characteristic diamond motif and, of course, crafted entirely by hand, the drinking vessel becomes a collector’s object that reflects the history of this flamboyant house. Its costume: a leather sleeve in MCM’s signature look, featuring the Visetos monogram. Craftsmanship, heritage, and a touch of celebration come together in this striking piece. The limited edition is available exclusively through MCM. Should the entire ensemble appeal to you, the remaining protagonists can, as always, be admired with us. |
