Meissen - Blue Onion - Gold Rimms - Unique Creamer - buy 1880s - Dark Blue Colors - Vintage Porcelain

Welcome on my Store!

I would like to present porcelain's pitcher stamped Meissen (two crossed swords).
This pattern is called Blue Onion Gold Rimms.
It was produced in 1880s.


Blue Onion ( Zwiebelmuster) is a fine porcelain tableware pattern for dishware originally manufactured by Meissen porcelain since the 18th century, but copied by other companies since the late 19th century as well.

While modeled closely after a pattern first produced by Chinese porcelain painters, which featured pomegranates unfamiliar in Saxony, the plates and bowls produced in the Meissen factory in 1740 adopted a feel that was distinctly their own. Among the earliest Chinese examples are underglaze blue and white porcelains of the early Ming Dynasty. The Meissen painters created hybrids that resembled flora more familiar to Europeans. The so-called "onions" are not onions at all, but, according to historians, are most likely mutations of the peaches and pomegranates modeled on the original Chinese pattern. The whole design is buy an ingeniously conceived grouping of several floral motifs with stylized peonies and aters in the pattern's center, the stems of which wind in flowing curves around a bamboo stalk.
