Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory
Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory, Porcelain manufactory in Munich, Germany
The Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory is a ceramics workshop in Munich that produces fine porcelain pieces by hand using traditional methods since its founding. The facility sits near Nymphenburg Palace and includes an on-site gallery and shop for visitors.
Elector Maximilian III Joseph founded the manufactory in 1747 at Neudeck Castle and later moved it to its present location near Nymphenburg Palace. This relocation shaped the development of porcelain art in Bavaria for generations to come.
The manufactory blends contemporary design with inherited techniques of porcelain creation rooted in Bavarian traditions. Visitors can observe how this connection appears in the displayed works.
The workshop is accessible year-round but closes on Sundays, so plan your visit accordingly. The on-site gallery and shop allow you to view and purchase porcelain pieces without needing to go elsewhere.
The workshop still uses water-powered potter's wheels, a technique from earlier manufacturing times. The three-level circular kiln from that era remains on-site and continues to play a role in some modern production processes.
