FAQs

Meissen ornithological porcelain refers to ceramic tableware and decorative pieces produced by the Meissen manufactory featuring detailed hand-painted illustrations of birds, popularised during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These dishes were crafted from fine hard-paste porcelain, finished with an overglaze enamel painting technique for polychrome subjects and underglaze cobalt blue for border decoration.

Authentic pieces typically feature the factorys signature underglaze blue crossed swords mark on the reverse, along with press numbers, model codes, and fine hand-painted brushwork.

It can be displayed upright on a wooden or brass plate stand upon a sideboard, arranged inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or mounted securely on a gallery wall.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or soft brush, avoid abrasive chemical cleaners and dishwashers, and hand wash sparingly in lukewarm water with gentle liquid soap.
