How do I identify genuine pieces?

Authentic items frequently feature underglaze blue crossed swords marks on the base, though the style of these marks varied significantly across different centuries. Examining the crispness of the hand painting, the weight of the hard-paste porcelain, and the quality of the glaze provides further confirmation. Familiarising yourself with period-specific modelling styles and enamel palettes helps distinguish eighteenth-century productions from later nineteenth-century revival wares and regional imitations.

What are Streublumen decorations?

Streublumen refers to scattered floral motifs painted individually across the white porcelain ground of plates, bowls, and cups. Instead of a dense central bouquet, these small botanical sprigs appear as though casually dropped onto the surface. This minimalist approach allowed the high-quality white ceramic body to remain a prominent feature of the tableware while showcasing delicate botanical painting skills.

How should I care for porcelain?

Keep delicate figures and painted plates away from direct sunlight to prevent any fading of sensitive enamel pigments over time. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid abrasive cleaning materials that might scratch the glaze or wear away surface gilding. Display items in stable environments protected from sudden temperature fluctuations to preserve the structural integrity of both the ceramic body and historical repairs.

What is hard-paste porcelain?

Hard-paste porcelain is a true ceramic compound made from china clay and petuntse, fired at exceptionally high temperatures. This process results in a completely vitrified, non-porous body that rings clearly when struck and bears a brilliant white lustre. Its durability allowed eighteenth and nineteenth-century makers to craft remarkably thin, translucent tablewares and intricate sculptural details without losing structural strength.
