Christophe Thiebaut

Exquisite set of three Meissen porcelain items, featuring one exquisite bowl and two elegant plates, all adorned with the legendary Blue Onion pattern. Crafted in Germany after 1934, these pieces are true treasures for any collector.

The artistry of these items is evident in their flawless design, showcasing the enchanting Blue Onion motif. Each piece is marked with the prestigious underglaze blue crossed swords emblem, a testament to Meissen's remarkable craftsmanship.

The bowl measures a generous 24 cm by 24 cm and stands 4 cm tall, while one plate has a diameter of 23 cm, and the other measures 24 cm in diameter. 

While these items are in perfect condition overall, it's worth noting a very minor defect on the edge of the deep plate—a detail that does not detract from the set's stunning aesthetic.

National and international shipping, complete with tracking via express courier.

The Meissen "Onion Pattern" is a remarkable example of the evolution of blue porcelain painting techniques, reflecting a profound artistic heritage. This design, inspired by East Asian art, features intricate depictions of peaches, melons, bamboo stalks, and chrysanthemum blossoms. Its name, coined by the public, pays homage to the pattern’s captivating beauty. The Elector of Saxony’s passion for blue-painted porcelain propelled Meissen’s esteemed reputation and deepened its legacy in cobalt blue under-glaze painting. After years of innovation, the manufactory perfected this technique by 1739, marking a significant milestone in porcelain artistry.
