Meissen porcelain and its insignia the two Crossed Swords are synonymous around the world with the highest-quality porcelain and exceptional craftsmanship. It is a renown that continues to reverberate in the denotation Vieux Saxe.

To ensure this quality, every production step continues to be performed at one single site. The porcelain paste is produced from the manufactory's own clay in accordance with traditional techniques, then formed and refined until receiving its final form in the kilns.

The in-house laboratory creates all Meissen porcelain paints on the basis of historic and new formulas to ensure the vibrancy and fidelity of Meissen porcelain items. It is this well-honed craftsmanship and preservation of tradition that makes possible Meissen's unsurpassed creative hallmarks: an abundance of details, original designs, and radiant colors that to this day only exist at Meissen.

The history of porcelain manufacturing in Europe begins in Meissen, Germany near Dresden, the cradle of European porcelain. Apart from the short-lived production of the Medici factory in Florence in the 1560's, Meissen was the first successful producer of hard-paste porcelain - or true porcelain - in Europe. Meissen's products, and those of its imitators, who came later, destroyed the supremacy of the oriental porcelain that had held a virtual monopoly in the world since Marco Polo opened the china trade in 1295.

In the 17th and 18th centuries porcelain was viewed as a great luxury in Europe. Court society longed for everything rare, which porcelain was. It became the fashion for northern European rulers to install a porcelain room where every inch was covered by porcelain. Just as in our time, the ownership of such precious things demonstrated wealth, luxury, and culture.
