FAQs

Meissen porcelain was the first high-quality European hard-paste porcelain, established in Germany in the early 18th century under the patronage of Augustus the Strong.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, hand-moulded, intricately detailed, and hand-painted with polychrome enamels, often accented with gilding.

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

They can be displayed as focal points on mantels, inside glass cabinets, or on sideboards to add a layer of historical contrast and refined colour to contemporary spaces.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and clean very sparingly using lukewarm water and mild soap only when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
