New Crystal Glaze Wall painting Yellow Cockatoo

This impressive mural of a cockatoo can enhance both living spaces and office areas in a unique way. Painting on Meissen porcelain requires special techniques, as the colors are applied in multiple layers and then fired at high temperatures. Corrections are not possible during this process, and the firing process also alters the color effect, which demands precise work and a deep understanding of pigments.

The smooth, non-absorbent surface presents an additional challenge, as both subtle color gradients and highly detailed motifs can only be rendered accurately using specially developed painting techniques. These high standards result in a unique expressiveness that gives hand-painted murals on Meissen porcelain their timeless aesthetic appeal.

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

With his fascinating 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 artistic expression.
