In the 1760s/70s, Frederick II ordered several extensive dinner services not only from Meissen, but also from Berlin, which he had sent as gifts to envoys, successful military and statesmen, or on the occasion of important weddings. The two plates presented here are from the dinner service that the king gave to the Danish envoy Wilhelm Christoph Diede zu Fürstenstein upon his departure in 1767.
