About Meissen and the Vine-Leaf Pattern:
Meissen Porcelain, founded in 1710, was Europe’s first porcelain manufactory and quickly became renowned for its unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic innovation. Among the factory’s many iconic patterns is the Vine-Leaf Pattern, in German Voller grüner Weinkranz, introduced around 1817 by Johann Samuel Arnhold. The decoration with green vine leaves and trailing tendrils became one of Meissen’s most popular motifs and continued well into the 20th century. The pattern reflects the manufactory’s fascination with natural ornamentation and the precise hand-painted tradition that has made Meissen a symbol of European porcelain artistry.
