491018 Saucer, manufacturer Meissen Porcelain Factory, Germany, c.1723 (porcelain) by German School, (18th century); h:2.15 w:12.30 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: In 1720 Johann Gregor Herold became art director of the Meissen factory and developed the styles of decoration that made it famous. Both the quality and the variety of enamel colors were improved, and the paste achieved the brilliant whiteness and perfection of surface that characterizes mature Meissen wares. Herold introduced " chinoiserie" decorations, in which comparatively large-scale half-length figures were set against landscapes with cloudy skies. The high quality of its painting suggests that Herold himself may have decorated this saucer.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a saucer manufactured by the renowned Meissen Porcelain Factory in Germany around 1723. The delicate porcelain piece, measuring 2.15 cm in height and 12.30 cm in width, is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. During this period, Johann Gregor Herold took over as art director of the Meissen factory and played a pivotal role in establishing its reputation for exquisite decoration. Under his guidance, both the quality and variety of enamel colors were enhanced, resulting in brilliant whiteness and flawless surfaces that became synonymous with mature Meissen wares. One notable feature introduced by Herold was "chinoiserie" decorations, which can be observed on this saucer. These intricate designs depict half-length figures set against landscapes with cloudy skies—a distinctive style that captivated collectors worldwide. The exceptional quality of painting found on this saucer suggests that it may have been personally decorated by Herold himself—an intriguing possibility that adds to its allure. Gifted to the museum by Rev. Alfred Duane Pell, this stunning piece exemplifies decorative tableware from the eighteenth century. Its ornate scene transports viewers back to a time when ceramics like these were highly coveted possessions symbolizing elegance and refinement. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by Meissen Porcelain Factory—a testament to their mastery of craftsmanship and artistic innovation during the golden age of European porcelain production.
