The hand-painted "Blue Orchid" pattern has its roots deep in the history of the manufactory. It was inspired by a decoration by Heinz Werner called "Blue orchid on a branch".
The plate adds a touch of nostalgia to your dinner service!
The branch is hand-painted in the underglaze, just like back then. However, it can only blossom after firing. Then the dinner service shines in its cobalt blue splendor!
Constantly reflecting on one’s own rich artistic heritage is deeply rooted in the Meissen tradition.
The filigree “Blue Orchid” decor is no exception. It is based on a 1970 design by Professor Heinz Werner: “Blue Orchid on a Branch” is one of the ingenious porcelain painter’s most popular motifs.
For the “MEISSEN® Cosmopolitan” collection, one element of Werner’s original is placed in the center of the elegant “Mesh platinum” pattern, lending the pieces a minimalist feel. The “Blue Orchid” is created using an elaborate under-glaze painting technique.
The paint is applied directly to the unfired, still porous porcelain, allowing it to absorb the color immediately, and making it impossible to correct any errors.
The design’s initial appearance, a matte grey, only attains its characteristic cobalt blue radiance after glazing and in reaction to the subsequent glaze firing.
