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