Meissen Porcelain The Perfect Gift For Christmas






Many of my friends who are playing chess also collecting Meissen Porcelain. In 1708 Meissen Porcelain also called Meissen China has been developed as the first hard-paste porcelain in Europe by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus (April 10, 1651 – October 11, 1708)

Johann Friedrich Böttger (February 4, 1682 – March 13, 1719),a German alchemist did continue his work and toke porcelain to the market,wrongly he has often been credited with the invention.

In 1710 the production of Meissen Porcelain started and attracted many artists from around the world to help making this manufaktur become one of the most famest in the world.

Its signature logo,the blue crossed swords, has been introduced in 1720 in order to protect its production; the mark of the crossed swords is one of the oldest trademarks in existence.

Meissen Porcelain is highly collectable and extremely valueable.

Today i like to introduce something very special - an exceptional piece from Europes oldest Porcelain Manufactur.
It is very difficult to find a complete set like this in an auktion - 7pieces -

Check it out and tell me your opinion!
