About Meissen and the Vine-Leaf Pattern (“Voller grüner Weinkranz”):
Founded in 1710, Meissen Porcelain was Europe’s first porcelain manufactory and has for more than 300 years been synonymous with craftsmanship perfection and artistic innovation. The factory quickly became famous for breaking China’s monopoly on porcelain and set the standard for European porcelain art.

Among Meissen’s most iconic services is the Vine-Leaf Pattern, in German “Voller grüner Weinkranz”, introduced around 1817 by Johann Samuel Arnhold. The design features green vine leaves and winding tendrils in underglaze, often combined with elegant shapes and refined hand-painted details.

This pattern soon became one of Meissen’s most popular and continued in production well into the 20th century. The Vine-Leaf Pattern represents the manufactory’s fascination with the ornamentation of nature, and with its combination of classical form and lively brushwork, it expresses the timeless aesthetic that has made Meissen an international symbol of European porcelain tradition.
