Book Description
In 1911, Meissen produced a now extremely rare catalogue of the porcelain figures manufactured in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century. The catalogue contained around 1800 photographic images with model numbers but no descriptions or other information and was used by Meissen salesmen to show to retailers and to gain orders. This book reproduces the catalogue in its entirety, with the addition of descriptions for the models, with information on size, modeller, and series. Many of the figures from the catalogue are also illustrated in colour, showing the intricate and beautiful work of Meissen at its best. To aid collectors wishing to identify models, a comprehensive index lists models by classification, e.g. Birds, Boxes, Cats, Chandeliers, Clocks, Cupids, Dancers, Dogs, Gardeners, Hunters, Lovers, Music, and more. This reference book is designed for collectors and dealers and for all those who are captivated by this unique porcelain.

Book Description
It is the experience probably of most Western amateurs of porcelain to pass through three successive stages of development in their appreciation of an art which, even for the uninitiated, --for those who have no knowledge of its history and little understanding of its technical aspects, --is not lacking in charm and fascination.--pg. xiii.

Book Description
While imported Chinese porcelain had become a valuable commodity in Europe in the seventeenth century, local attempts to produce porcelain long remained unsuccessful. At last the secret of hard-paste porcelain was uncovered, and in 1710 the first European porcelain was manufactured in Saxony. Meissen porcelain, still manufactured today, soon ranked in value with silver and gold. This thorough and lavishly illustrated volume explores the early years of Meissen porcelain and how the princes of Saxony came to use highly prized porcelain pieces as diplomatic gifts for presentation to foreign courts. An eminent team of international contributors examines the trade of Meissen with other nations, from England to Russia. They also investigate the cultural ambience of the Dresden Court, varying tastes of the markets, the wide range of porcelain objects, and their designers and makers. Individual chapters are devoted to gifts to Denmark, other German courts, the Holy Roman Empire, Italy, France, and other nations. For every Meissen collector or enthusiast, this book will be not only a treasured handbook but also a source of visual delight.
