Bio:
Meissen’s Zwiebelmuster was introduced in the 1730s and remains one of Europe’s most iconic porcelain designs. The cobalt-blue underglaze decoration is still applied by hand, giving each piece its own character. Later 20th-century examples are appreciated for their clean execution and enduring quality.
