All is in Flux. Water & Meissen Porcelain
16 March 2023 – 25 February 2024
Special exhibition in the Meissen Porcelain Foundation Museum
Water is the basis of all life. As one of the four elements of matter, it also inspired the Meissen Manufactory to model the likes of bathers taking a dip, mythological aquatic beings or creatures from the seas. Schemes painted on porcelain have included pond landscapes, scenes of maritime commerce and individuals fishing. Water is emblematic of sources and origins, of motion and purity. Tableware shapes incorporate aquatic motifs in the form, for instance, of sea-shells and relief-moulded waves. The exhibition covers three centuries of Meissen porcelains.
Duration: approx. 1 hour
