The Swan Service, a masterpiece from the 18th century
Johann Joachim Kändler and Johann Friedrich Eberlein created the “Swan Service” in 1737, for Heinrich, Count von Brühl, Prime Minister during the reign of King Augustus III of Poland. The original set, designed for 100 people, included more than 2,200 porcelain pieces, modeled and hand painted at Meissen, Europe’s oldest porcelain manufacturer. This collection, which is still in production, keeps alive the culture of the baroque banquet of the past.
“Lilies of the Valley”, an award-winning design from the 19th century
This work dates back to 1861 and was first created by Ludwig Gruner, a professor at the Dresden Academy of Arts. “Lilies of the Valley” was awarded a gold medal at the Great London Exposition in 1862. Since then its design has maintained its charm and magnetism, allowing it to stay in the Meissen porcelain collections until today.
