The Meissen Kakiemon porcelain is a line of tableware produced by the Meissen manufactory in Germany since the 18th century, inspired by the Japanese Kakiemon style of the Edo period. Kakiemon designs are known for their delicate, asymmetrical patterns and use of colors such as iron red, turquoise, blue, and yellow on a white porcelain background. Meissen, the first European porcelain manufacturer, was among the earliest to replicate Chinese and Japanese motifs, including Kakiemon, which became highly fashionable among European courts and collectors. Today, Meissen Kakiemon pieces are highly prized for their rarity, historical significance, and exquisite craftsmanship.
