Short bio:
Meissen Porcelain, founded in 1710, was Europe’s first porcelain manufactory and broke China’s monopoly on porcelain. The “Blaue Blume” service is among the manufactory’s most iconic, becoming a symbol of 18th- and 19th-century fascination with nature’s ornamentation, rendered in blue underglaze. The variation with insects is a distinctive version that highlights Meissen’s artistic attention to detail.
