Wanderlust – The longing for exotic countries
  • Come with us on a journey to exotic countries and discover the beauty of this world in MEISSEN porcelain. Be it the South of China, West Africa, the Caribbean or the Philippines, after more than two years of reduced or no travel possibilities, we want to dive back into distant countries and exotic worlds. Didn't you miss traveling too? Especially now that the temperatures are rising, we are gripped by a longing for adventure. Let yourself be carried away, new adventures are everywhere to be discovered.

    Especially the flora and fauna of other countries in all their naturalness fascinates us very much. Thus, we marvel at extravagantly coloured parrots, as in our wall painting "Flock of Birds", which flies through the jungle with its magnificent bird dress and explores the unique landscape. Or big cats of prey hunting, like our "Panther" or various lion figurines. We also admire beautifully shimmering fish and rays on dives through the vastness of the oceans like our "Blue Treasures" porcelains. Thus, people are creature full of drive and curiosity by nature.

    MEISSEN has been inspired by precisely these impressions since the beginning of the porcelain manufactory and mixes them with extremely filigree craftsmanship. Thus, distant stories and traditions, exotic textures and compositions are artistically transmitted to our homeland. With warm, soft colours we create a pleasant feeling of calm and summer. Be it the Mediterranean Sea, breath-taking forests in Canada, or the savannah in Africa. MEISSEN decoratively brings her vacation to your home.



"The diverse MEISSEN wildlife will bring unique vacation flair to your home and turns your interior into an exotic experience."
  • Experience the breath-taking biodiversity of the savannah with the figurine group "Big Five" by sculptor Maximilian Hagstotz, who presents buffalo, elephant, rhinoceros, leopard and lion for the first time in a unified figural group. Maximilian drew inspiration for his work not only from the animal world, but also from traditional African styles and patterns. The naturalistic representation of the figurines is complemented by a discreetly angular form in the style of African woodcarving sculptures. The elaborately hand-applied staffage also finds inspiration in this traditional art form and also brings out the brilliant white of the porcelain even more prominently.

    MEISSEN creates an infinite variety of the animal kingdom with its sources of inspiration. So you also experience the feeling of sun and beach with the maritime world of MEISSEN animal sculptures. The animals stand out especially because of the detailed execution of their movement and let you dive into a colourful underwater world. From amphibians like small frogs to the most gigantic fish of the oceans like the whale shark, you can take home numerous creatures you may have seen on a dive.

    As different and exotic as the nature in the most different countries is, so the formative elements can be found in MEISSEN porcelain. MEISSEN brings the world’s most distant places a little closer and decorates interiors individually according to your own ideas of the perfect holiday destination.
