Vases

The porcelain vases of the Meissen Masterworks collections are one-of-a-kind pieces that draw on the entire artistic and creative tradition of the manufactory. The wide range of sizes and shapes are ideal for long-stemmed flowers and branches, opulent bouquets and festive floral arrangements: expansive, bulbous vases with bases, snake-handled vases, historic lidded vases, shapes inspired by Ancient Greek krater vases, Baroque shapes, masterpieces of Classicism and modern recreations. Lavishly decorated with floral onlays, figurative scenes or decorative elements such as antique columns and gables, the porcelain vases also serve as canvases for impressive artwork. Colourful naturalistic flower decorations – a genre that has been practiced to perfection at the Meissen manufactory since the 19th century – landscapes and city panoramas, designs inspired by Eastern Asian porcelain art as well as historically inspired recreations.
