New Crystal Glaze Wall painting Sea Turtle

This colorful wall art can add a special touch to both living spaces and office areas. Painting on Meissen porcelain requires significantly different techniques than working on canvas or paper. The paints are applied in multiple layers and then fired at high temperatures. Since no corrections are possible during this process and the color effect changes further during firing, a deep understanding of pigments and their behavior is essential.

The smooth, non-absorbent surface presents another unique challenge, as both subtle color gradients and detailed motifs can only be rendered precisely using specialized painting techniques. It is precisely this that gives hand-painted murals on Meissen porcelain their characteristic expressiveness and timeless elegance.

The art of crystal glazes on porcelain dates back to the 19th century. In the 1920s, it was further developed by Emil Paul Börner in the Art Deco style and later translated into modern design concepts by Ludwig Zepner in the 1990s.

With his crystal glaze and the artisanal perfection of the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory, artist Detlef Ritter creates a striking example of contemporary porcelain art-a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern expression.
