Meissen Starter and Dessert Plate, Shape "No 41", Blue Onion (Germany)

This decorative dessert plate is decorated with the famous Meissen onion pattern. Throughout his life, Saxony's Elector, "August the Strong" was particularly fond of blue painted tableware, special porcelain, hand-painted according to the Chinese model. He demanded equivalent tableware from his manufactory. The historical onion pattern is continued here in a new dinner service. Whether as an appetizer plate or as a dessert plate, characteristic features of the decorative classic find their way to modern aesthetics in the unique table service of the "No 41" shape. The appetizer plate is a new stage for elaborate decorations, hand-painted on fine porcelain, a work of art and tableware in one.
