Antique cup and saucer Factory Meissen (Meissen). Porcelain painted. Germany, XX century.

Meissen factory porcelain has been known since the beginning of the 18th century when researchers managed to discover the secret of creating a real porcelain mass, which until then came to Europe only from China. Porcelain got its name in honor of the area where the production was conducted - the Albrechtsburg fortress in the city of Meissen.

Today, Meissen porcelain can be found both in private collections and in museum displays.
