Bio:
Meissen, founded in 1710, is Europe’s oldest porcelain manufactory and is internationally renowned for its artistic and technical excellence. Biscuit porcelain has been part of Meissen’s production since the 18th century and is particularly suited to portrait and relief work, where its soft, marble-like surface enhances sculptural form and detail.
