With her original porcelain figurine "Moon Visitor," Meissen artist Maria Walther continues her original series of space tourists-this time, the astronaut has arrived at his first destination: the moon. Rated five stars in the travel guide, it truly lives up to all expectations. The view is breathtaking-just as promised.
The scene depicts a relaxed moment far away from Earth: the little astronaut sits calmly on a gold-decorated crescent moon, holding a Meissen coffee-to-go cup in his hand - a lovingly ironic combination of science fiction and everyday culture. The visor of his helmet, as well as parts of his space suit, are finished in fine gold, giving the figure a noble yet humorous appearance. The crescent moon is also discreetly decorated in gold, which makes it stand out elegantly from the white porcelain and gives the figure a special radiance.
Made from the finest Meissen porcelain, the "Moon Visitor" combines precise craftsmanship with a modern, narrative visual language. Since 1710, the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory has stood for the highest level of craftsmanship - Maria Walther's design brings this tradition into a new, contemporary form: playful, stylized, and with a wink.
The "Moon Visitor" is not only a collector's item, but also a small narrative in porcelain - about wanderlust, the spirit of discovery, and the poetry in everyday life.
