Bio:
Meissen’s Zwiebelmuster was introduced in the 1730s and is one of the world’s most recognisable porcelain patterns. Painted by hand in cobalt-blue underglaze, it has been produced continuously for nearly 300 years. Early 20th-century examples are especially valued for their craftsmanship and crisp execution.
