Item description

Rare Meissen porcelain soup service in Biedermeier style; the set consists of 12 cups with two handles and saucer; the various pieces are made of fine white hard porcelain painted by hand with the decoration "Pink Roses" enriched on all objects by sumptuous decorations in relief not painted. Unlike the simple and quite common "Pink Roses", this model is very rare, prestigious and sought after, and therefore also more expensive; in fact, the objects with this relief decoration, much more particular and detailed than the others, have been fired three times, while those with only the "Pink Roses" decoration only twice. Moreover, the execution of this ornamental motif with delicate and graceful flowers was entrusted only to the most experienced and skilled painters, those in possession of the prestigious diploma from the 'Meissen School of Drawing' established in 1764. The edges of the cups and saucers are scalloped and finished in pure gold, as are the handles. All the pieces bear the original Meissen mark (two crossed swords) and from the enclosed list it can be stated with certainty that the service was produced between 1934 and 1944. In addition, the model is hand-written on the objects (61/106), which makes them even more valuable and appreciated as they retain all the characteristics of the author's handwriting. Meissen porcelain was created in the Albrechtsburg castle in Meissen, a small town in Saxony near Dresden, in 1710, at the behest of Augustus the Strong (1670-1733), Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, who wanted to start production after the studies and experiments of his alchemist Bottger. Bottger discovered the formula for porcelain, in fact at that time, only the Chinese and Japanese had the recipe to create this wonderful material; Meissen was, therefore, the first porcelain produced in Europe. Bottger never revealed his formula to anyone, only a certain phase was known to the workers; we do not know, even today, in which proportions the different components are mixed; this is the great secret that has allowed the famous brand to be considered the best in the world, Meissen porcelain is given the nickname of "white gold". Over the years, Meissen has perfected its hard-fired products with high temperature firing during glazing. Meissen's porcelain designs have been copied by many other manufacturers around the world such as Royal Copenhagen, Dresden, Herend and many others, but Meissen's porcelain enamel retains its quality over time and is superior to all. That is why even old Meissen porcelain looks so new and keeps its excellent condition, while other porcelain grains and ages, losing its brightness and colour. The perfect and accurate painting on Meissen porcelain far exceeds any other porcelain in the world. Our Meissen bouillon service sums up all these precious characteristics of rarity and enchanting beauty. All pieces are in excellent condition.
