Bio:
Meissen was founded in 1710 in Saxony as Europe’s first manufactory of true hard-paste porcelain. The Blue Onion pattern (Zwiebelmuster) was introduced around 1739 and is inspired by Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. The factory’s mark, the crossed swords, is one of the oldest trademarks in the world.
