FAQs

Meissen, established in Germany in the early eighteenth century, was the first European hard-paste porcelain manufacturer. Figurines from the mid-eighteenth century often depicted pastoral, mythological, or courtly themes reflecting the Rococo taste of the period.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, fired at extremely high temperatures, and hand-painted with mineral enamels. Gilt accents and intricate applied floral elements, known as applied or encrusted flowers, are characteristic of the traditional manufacturing process.

Authentic pieces typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark on the base, though the style and precision of the mark varied over periods. Additionally, genuine antique figures display fine hand-painted details, subtle tool marks from hand-modelling, and natural wear consistent with age.

These delicate sculptures serve as focal points within glass-fronted cabinets, on architectural mantelpieces, or atop occasional tables. Pairing them with contemporary minimalist surroundings allows the intricate hand-painted details and historic craftsmanship to stand out.

Keep porcelain figures out of direct sunlight to prevent enamel fading and degradation. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using water or chemical cleaners, especially on areas with gilt highlights or delicate applied flowers.
