N°41

As the oldest porcelain manufactory in Europe, MEISSEN has played a decisive role in the design of table settings and tableware since its founding in 1710. Its extensive repertoire of designs testifies to the manufactory’s artistic impact over the ages, starting with the ornate table decorations of the Baroque era and the floral table service designs of the Biedermeier period all the way to the sleek elegance of modern white dishware. The wide variety of Meissen table services, which has grown over the centuries, does more than merely provide a stylish setting for special events and occasions – it is an expression of a way life, an appreciation for craftsmanship and tradition. The new “N°41” collection stands for timeless design that marries Meissen’s high-quality porcelain with a contemporary look and feel. With three new decorative patterns, the series is an expression of Meissen’s endless font of creativity and innovation.
  • Royal Blossom
    In 1739 Johann Joachim Kaendler created the extravagant “Snowball Blossoms” at the behest of King Augustus III as a gift to his wife. A symbol of love rendered in the finest of porcelain, the hand-formed blossoms – set petal to petal on countless porcelain object – required all the skills of Meissen’s artisans at the time. As part of the “Royal Blossom” collection, those revered blossoms bloom once more, reinterpreted in relief on the contemporary “N°41” table service.
  • Noble Blue
    “Noble Blue” revisits one of Meissen’s most famous decorative motifs: the iconic “Onion Patter” from 1731. Inspired by the Eastern Asian porcelains of its time, the “onions” in the pattern are not in fact onions, but rather exotic fruits and blossoms, each with their own assigned placement within the decor. In “Noble Blue” these opulent compositions are pruned and rearranged in a light-hearted, contemporary design, giving the sleek “N°41” tableware series a decorative nod from the past.
  • Swords
    As the oldest trademark in Europe, the Crossed Swords from the coat of arms of the Electorate of Saxony have represented the exceptional quality of Meissen porcelain and the ultimate in craftsmanship since 1722. To this day, the swords are painted onto every piece of Meissen porcelain by hand using the manufactory’s own specially developed cobalt blue. The “Swords” collection is a creative homage to the manufactory’s historic signet, boldly applied to the new “N°41” design series.
  • Onion pattern
    on the N°41 form
    The MEISSEN “Onion Pattern”, the most successful blue decor in porcelain history, was already created 1731. In fact, the painting shows peach and melon on the edge of the plate, as well as bamboo and the delicate flowers of the chrysanthemum in the center. For the first time in the history of MEISSEN, the historical onion pattern is now also being implemented in a further form of service. The famous decor on the modern “N°41” form is given a completely new stage and at the same time invites you to “Mix & Match” with other porcelains. The opulence of the historical "Onion Pattern" contrasts with the clear lines and the modern aesthetics of the "N°41" form and thus develops a completely new brilliance.
  • N°41 Waves Relief
    The decorative patterns featured on "N°41" are breathtaking interpretations of iconic Meissen decors and an expression of the living, breathing artisanal perfection at MEISSEN. With “N ° 41 Waves Relief”, the straight lines of the shape “N°41” are combined with the relief of the popular shape “Wave Relief” to create a completely new appearance. The service form "Wave Relief" with the relief decoration is one of the most popular white dishes from MEISSEN - like the sea ruffled by a breeze, the wave lines cover the surface of the porcelain.

    The fine line structure of the "Waves Relief" on the elegant shape "N°41" thus combines the highest level of craftsmanship and modern aesthetics. The special feel of the "Waves Relief N °41" - also in a bisque version - invites you to combine a wide variety of decors from the "N° 41" collection in the spirit of "Mix & Match".
