Herzog [Duke] Christian IV of Pfalz-Zweibrücken-Birkenfeld (1722-75) was raised in the French court and was closely allied with Louis XV. In 1767, he awarded the privilege for the manufactory in his Palatinate to Johann Michael Stahl, the founder of the Pfalz-Zweibrücken manufactory. See B. Beaucamp-Markowsky, Frankenthaler Porzellan Das Geschirr (2014), cat. no. 36, for two tureens and two plates from the same service; the author notes (p. 108), that the decor is among the most gracious and decorative of the Frankenthal manufactory.
