Prince Carl of Prussia was the third son of Friedrich Wilhelm III and Queen Louise of Prussia. He was born in 1801. He may have inherited this vase from his mother, who died in 1810, or from his uncle Prince Wilhelm.

Literature

Illus. in cat. Blütenlese, Berlin-Munich 2018, no. 133. Cf. cat. Orden auf königlichem Porzellan, Eichenzell 2013, no. 3.22, for a painted vase from the dinner service with the iron helmet, which comprised 48 items. The small vases were presumably placed as a table decoration between the larger pieces.
