About this seller
ProfessionalProduct description
Hand-painted Meissen Porcelain Vase, Red Court Dragon collection, made in the 1950s. Diameter 11.5 cm, Height 24.5 cm. Meissen porcelain is considered one of the earliest and most precious examples of European porcelain. Originating in 1710 in Meissen, Germany, this porcelain has, over the centuries, earned an international reputation for its quality, the refinement of its decorations, and its artisanal craftsmanship. The history of Meissen porcelain is closely linked to Johann Friedrich Böttger, an alchemist and ceramist who, after years of research, succeeded in developing a formula to create a white and translucent porcelain, similar to Chinese porcelain, but produced in Europe. The Meissen manufactory quickly became famous throughout Europe, and its creations were admired and collected by royal courts and aristocratic families. Meissen porcelain is characterized by a fine and translucent paste, achieved through a blend of precious raw materials and a particularly long and complex firing process. The decorations are hand-painted by skilled artisans and are often inspired by nature, mythology, and history. Among the most famous motifs are flowers, birds, landscapes, and human figures. The Meissen mark, known as the "crossed swords," is one of the oldest trademarks in the world and represents a symbol of authenticity and quality.
