Description

Constantly reflecting on one’s own rich artistic heritage is deeply rooted in the Meissen tradition and the filigree “Blue Orchid” decor is no exception. This salad plate is based on a 1970 design by Professor Heinz Werner — “Blue Orchid on a Branch”, which is one of the ingenious porcelain painter’s most popular motifs. 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.
