Swan Service Serving Dish

This exceptional serving dish from the legendary Meissen Swan Service, designed by Johann Joachim Kaendler, embodies opulent table culture and consummate porcelain artistry. Measuring 46 cm (18.1 inches) in length, it provides an ideal presentation surface for side dishes, vegetables, fish courses, or refined appetizers, lending distinction to both formal banquets and sophisticated dining occasions.

For nearly three centuries, this table service-originally comprising more than 2,200 individual pieces-has been meticulously crafted by hand. Its defining feature is the finely modeled relief of a pair of swans gliding through reeds, framed within a shell-shaped well. The sculptural contours interact subtly with light, allowing the delicately executed figures to appear almost translucent within the characteristic soft luster of Meissen porcelain.
