FAQs

Meissen porcelain is Europes first hard-paste porcelain, established in Germany in the early 18th century. It became renowned across the continent for its high-quality artistry and detailed hand-painted designs.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired hard-paste porcelain, utilising a precise mixture of kaolin, quartz, and feldspar. Artisans shape the forms using detailed moulds before applying hand-painted polychrome glazes and firing them at high temperatures.

Authentic pieces typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark, which has been used in various forms since the 1720s. Collectors also examine the crispness of the moulding, the depth of the glaze, and the precision of the hand-painted details.

These sculptural objects function effectively as focal points on sideboards, mantels, or within glass-fronted cabinets. Pairing them with clean-lined contemporary furniture creates a balanced contrast that highlights their craftsmanship.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry brush to prevent particle accumulation. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the pieces in water, particularly if there are painted or gilded surface details.
