Description
Cup with lid and saucer. Dish Ø 14 cm. The height of the cup, excluding the lid, about 6.5 cm.
Based in Albrechtsburg, Meissen, Meissen Porcelain carries on a rich history spanning over 300 years, establishing itself as the first commercial porcelain factory in Europe. Founded in 1710 on the initiative of King August the Strong, Johann Friedrich Böttger and Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus, the factory came to revolutionize porcelain manufacturing.
The artistic flourishing occurred during the time of Johann Gregor Höroldt and Johann Joachim Kändler, marking the “painterly” period from the 1720s to the mid-18th century. High quality tableware and figurines were created here, and Meissen reached his artistic peak.
The Marcolini period spans from 1774 to 1814 and is named after Camillo Marcolini, who headed the company during this period. Marcolini took over the management when Meissen porcelain had already established itself as a significant player in the European porcelain market. Under Marcolini's leadership, Meissen underwent a period of changes and adaptation to the prevailing artistic and stylistic trends.
A noticeable change during the Marcolini period was the shift from earlier styles to the pre-classical Louis-Seize, which was typical of the later part of the 18th century. The Pre-Classical style, also known as the Late Rococo or Early Neoclassicism, is characterized by a more stripped-down and symmetrical aesthetic compared to the earlier Rococo. It was a time of transition from the decorative and curved forms of the Rococo to the more pure and geometric lines that would become characteristic of Neoclassicism.
Meissen porcelain, with its characteristic two crossed swords as marking, has become synonymous with high quality, art and elegance. The factory has maintained its reputation for hand-painted high-quality porcelain over the years. With specialists undergoing multi-year training, Meissen continues to produce classic designs such as the “Onion Pattern” to this day.
