Dominikus Auliczek (1734-1804) is perhaps best-known for his „Perlen – Service”, a dinner service produced exclusively for Bavaria’s royal family, the Wittelsbacher. The service is unique for being the first in a dodecagon (twelve-sided) form, rather than the usual round or oval shape. Taking their name from their beaded borders (Perlen), the pieces are embellished with pastoral scenes showing landscapes and Wittelsbacher palaces, engraved gold borders, and a painted blue ribbon that ends in a graceful bow.
