More than three centuries after its foundation, Meissen porcelain is still created by hand, employing traditional techniques, and every step of creation and decoration takes place within the company’s workshops, in the eponymous town close to Dresden.The daily guided tours organised by Meissen offer an extraordinary opportunity to get into some of the workshops of the oldest porcelain manufacturer in Europe and admire the gestures of their master artisans: potters, who still throw by hand all Meissen plates, cups, and vases; embossers, who put their artistic talent into turning the large number of components into a figurine or statue; under-glaze and on-glaze painters, who give life to the Meissen creations thanks to the infinite combination of colours.
