VITRUV

With the "VITRUV" service form, MEISSEN defines a completely new design language for table and dining: straightforward, clear and puristic. Since the beginning of the manufactory, Meissen artists have always freely quoted architectural trends and elements in unusual decors and shapes. "VITRUV", inspired by one of the main elements of architecture, the column, continues this tradition - an architectural production in porcelain, whose design and craftsmanship sophistication is reflected in accurate details. The oval shapes such as the pot, cup and sugar bowl are a special feature: They take on something weightless thanks to the hand-applied foot with a groove milled above it, defining an entirely new aesthetic in the manufactory's repertoire. "Graphic", a specially developed relief translates the formal language into a graphic pattern that appears in different variations. Similar to reflecting prisms, they lend the porcelain a schematic structure and exciting haptics. The Ming Dragon, one of the manufactory's most popular designs, was created around 1910 and was inspired by Asian models. A harmonious re-interpretation can now be found in the VITRUV service and the "Ming Dragon" decor in elegant black. Dynamically placed on appetizer and dessert plates in detailed hand painting, it lends the clear form a sublime character and underscores the timelessness of the design. Supporting the modularity of the service, its puristic design offers manifold possibilities for arranging. The porcelains with the Graphic pattern in white glaze or partially in cookie can be combined with each other and complemented with the Ming dragon décor to stage the VITRUV service form according to the respective room and occasion. The service consists of 24 pieces, except for the hand-painted Ming Dragon decor, all pieces are dishwasher safe.
