Meissen porcelain was Europes first true hard-paste porcelain, established in Saxony in the early 18th century, and became renowned for its highly detailed figurative sculptures and tableware.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, shaped using detailed moulds, and hand-painted with polychrome enamel pigments and gilding before being fired at high temperatures.

Authentic pieces typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark on the base, alongside impressed model numbers and exceptional hand-painted detail quality.

These figures serve as focal points on mantlepieces, inside glass-fronted cabinets, or atop occasional tables to introduce traditional craftsmanship and colour into contemporary spaces.

Clean gently with a soft, dry brush or a damp cloth without harsh chemicals, and keep them out of direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant enamel colours and gilding.
