Meissen Hand Painted Rose Collection

Floral painting on porcelain has a long tradition at Meissen.Much like other decorative motifs, the depiction of blossoming plants on porcelain dates back to the 1730s and was originally influenced by Eastern Asian porcelain art.  Even though the design and arrangement are predetermined, the flower painter still works freehand. After just lightly sketching out the shape of the flowers in pencil on the piece in question, the images are applied by hand directly on the porcelain all the way down to the finest details of the petals and leaves.
