For centuries, the knowledge of Meissens most talented manufacturers has been passed down from generation to generation, allowing almost forgotten techniques to be revived and virtuoso porcelains to be created that have their origins in the manufactory's archives. With the iconic reinterpretation "Queen's Gambit," a historic gem first crafted in 1732 is experiencing a breathtaking renaissance. For this brilliant new development, MEISSEN designer Lena Hensel combines the baroque formal language of Johann Gottlieb Kirchner with a contrasting as well as dynamic decor in which embossing and painting merge into a novel unity. In this way, she combines the highest disciplines of Meissen craftsmanship and dissolves the boundaries between two- and three-dimensional.

A true masterpiece of embossing art, the magnificent vase form now impresses with floral tendrils, female herms and mascarons adorn the handles. The historic body of the vase is excitingly flattered by the dynamic design. Two opposing design principles collide: the checkerboard motif and colorful floral tendrils as a bright camouflage pattern. The flowers seem boundless and deliberately ignore the plastic reliefs to create a surreal as well as lively expression. It is a high art to veil plastic elements so masterfully and deliberately not follow the form.
