Meissen porcelain, Porcelain manufacturing facility in Meissen, Germany
The Meissen Porcelain Manufactory creates fine china items using traditional methods, with each piece displaying the crossed swords trademark established in 1720.
In 1708, Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus and Johann Friedrich Böttger developed the first European hard-paste porcelain, leading to the factory's establishment in 1710.
The manufactory revolutionized European ceramics by introducing local decorative styles and creating porcelain figurines that departed from Asian-inspired designs.
Visitors can explore the manufacturing process through guided tours of the facility, which includes demonstrations of painting techniques and clay molding.
The red Böttger stoneware, developed during early production phases, represents a distinct creation that preceded the white porcelain manufacturing.
