As its own genre, floral painting on porcelain has a long tradition at the Meissen manufactory that has grown continuously throughout the ages and continues on to this day. From individual flowers such as sumptuous single roses all the way to stylised flower and plant motifs, this genre is one of the manufactory s oldest porcelain decors. An historical biscuit piece from the Meissen archive served as the inspiration for the magnificent peonies, which are applied using the manufactory s proprietary cobalt blue under-glaze paint that sinks deep into the porcelain during firing, thus achieving its unique intensity. The decorative pattern in the style of "Indian painting" combines a variety of shades of the manufactory's own unique under-glaze blue as well as different painting styles. While the peonies are applied in a picturesque style in a lighter shade of blue, the lavish gold brocade is permeated by a darker blue, surrounding a design that offers a graphic representation of the flowers. The 24-carat gold is painted onto the surface of the unfired porcelain and appears matte after firing. This lends a marked contrast to the shining blue painted objects. This year, these intricate images are adorning two minimalist designs: both the vase and the dish are created without a mould and turned by hand, making each piece one of a kind.
