Meissen, established in Germany in the early 18th century, was the first European hard-paste porcelain manufacturer, renowned for its master modellers who created intricate human, animal, and mythological figurines.

These pieces are crafted from high-fired hard-paste porcelain, meticulously hand-painted with ceramic colours under or over the glaze, and often finished with a clear gloss to enhance the detailed feathered textures.

Authentic pieces typically feature the underglaze blue crossed swords mark on the base, alongside impressed model numbers and painter ciphers, combined with precise hand-painting and crisp moulding.

Position the piece on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or glass cabinet to act as a focal point, pairing it with neutral backgrounds to highlight its intricate hand-painted details.

Dust the item gently with a soft, dry brush and wash only when necessary using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh abrasives or soaking to protect the glaze and overglaze enamel.
