With its simple elegance, the so-called "collective service" stands for the turn to modern design of the 1960s. A time full of optimism and new ideas. While preserving its great artistic heritage, the Meissen porcelain manufactory sought new forms - especially in its creative working methods. The porcelain artists developed and realized their ideas collectively. A joint effort by Erhard Grosser, master of flowing forms, Alexander Struck, "father" of the Schneider Wibbel figure, and Ludwig Zepner, artistic director of the group and later creator of the "Large Cutout" form, is the successful coffee service, which the Meissen artists called - nomen est omen - "Collective Service".
