meissen

Founded in 1710 by Augustus the Strong in Saxony, Germany, Meissen is Europe’s first hard-paste porcelain manufactory and a cornerstone of ceramic history. The brand is globally recognized by its iconic Crossed Swords trademark—one of the oldest continuously used logos in existence—which is still hand-painted on every piece. Meissen’s enduring legacy is built on its proprietary kaolin mine, a historic archive of 700,000 molds, and a color laboratory safeguarding 10,000 recipes.
