TablewareSince its foundation in 1710, the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory has stood for the highest porcelain quality and extraordinary craftsmanship. Its historic signet, the blue crossed swords, stands for these attributes worldwide. The quality of Meissen porcelain begins in the manufactory's own mine not far from Meissen, where the purest kaolin is mined every day. The white clay is the key to the significant radiance of Meissen porcelain. Each piece is lovingly handcrafted and sustainably produced at the Meissen site. The high quality and timeless beauty guarantee a lifelong wow effect.

JewelleryThe invention of the iconic "Snowball Blossoms" in 1739 by the master modeller Johann Joachim Kaendler not only established his reputation as a genius in the art of repairing, but also strengthened the manufactory's global reputation to the present day. In the Meissen jewellery collection, the filigree blossoms are reinterpreted: as settings on rings of yellow, rose or white gold, as pendants on fine necklaces or delicate ear studs. The flower stamp is replaced by a sparkling diamond. Then, as now, each individual porcelain flower is shaped, garnished and finally painted by hand. Like no other decoration, they embody the perfection of craftsmanship that has been practised at MEISSEN for over 300 years.

FigurinesThe Meissen mold archive, the heart of the manufactory, preserves molds for around 9,000 sculptures from 300 years of Meissen history. This diversity has its beginnings in the creativity of Meissen artists in the 18th century, when the so-called sculptural period of the manufactory began around 1730. With it, the artistic focus shifted from utilitarian wares based on East Asian models to the production of large-scale sculptures, spurred on by Augustus the Strong and the decoration of the Japanese Palace into a representative porcelain cabinet. This period is directly linked to the name of Johann Joachim Kaendler, who came to Meissen in 1731. He quickly made a name for himself as a modeler of life-size animal sculptures, devoted himself to the elector's demanding commissions, and in quick succession modeled epoch-making objects that redefined the boundaries of porcelain.
