About Meissen and the Vine-Leaf Pattern:
Founded in 1710, Meissen Porcelain was Europe’s first porcelain manufactory and quickly became renowned for its unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic innovation. Among the manufactory’s iconic patterns is the Vine-Leaf Pattern, in German Voller grüner Weinkranz, introduced around 1817 by Johann Samuel Arnhold. The decoration of green vine leaves and meandering tendrils became one of Meissen’s most popular designs and continued into the 20th century. The pattern reflects Meissen’s fascination with nature’s ornamentation and the precise hand-painted expression that has made the manufactory a hallmark of European porcelain tradition.
