Handmade and handpainted in Germany in a tradition of porcelain figurines from the world famous Meissen, Europe's oldest porcelain manufactory.

The exact formulas are accessible only to a small number of employees, valuable as these are to the rich legacy of Europe’s oldest porcelain manufactory.The opulent “Crater Vase” brings together more than 100 historic decors. For this, the manufactory’s painters are not only inspired by nature but also channel the artistic style of their time. A true embodiment of subtle elegance, both “Platinum”, and the more reserved “Mesh Platinum” are decors with a unique aura.Upon its founding in 1710, MEISSEN remained the only porcelain manufactory in Europe for nearly a decade. With “Noble Blue”, Meissen’s “Onion Pattern” takes new shape to contrast the opulence of the original design with modern lightness. On cups, both chrysanthemum and vined bamboo have struck roots in a similarly reduced, less compact artwork – making it seem as though the bamboo were growing straight from the cup. The design’s delicate contour emphasizes the geometrical modernity of its lavish meander pattern.With “Boettger Stoneware”, MEISSEN honours the legacy of a storied material that played such a fundamental role in the development of Europe’s first porcelains. To this day, each step of decoration is applied by hand using traditional techniques, relying entirely on proprietary over- and underglaze colours made from pigments formulated in the in-house laboratory that was first founded in 1720.
