The "dragon," in its regal form, symbolizes the highest honor and
privilege. In ancient China, the dragon served as the representative of
the emperor, and dragon motifs first made their appearance on ceramics in
China and Japan. Europe conducted in-depth research into Eastern
porcelain, leading to extensive emulation and replication of its painting
techniques, themes, and color schemes. Meissen, in its early days, also
pursued contemporary trends. The dragon itself embodies qualities of
strength, wisdom, the spirit of change, the natural cadence, and emerging
ideas. Meissen's hand-painted Red Dragon tea set masterfully brings the
red dragon to life, not only capturing its vivid essence but also infusing
a touch of playful charm, revealing the designer's ingenious artistic
style.
"龍"以王者之姿,象徵至高無上的尊寵，在古代中國，龍是皇帝的代表，而龍騰圖亦最早出現在中國及日本磁器上。歐洲對於東方瓷器的深入研究，對其繪畫技術、主題、主題和配色方案進行大規模模仿和復制。Meissen在創業之初也追求當時的時尚。龍本身就是力量、智慧、變化的精神、自然的韻律和湧現的意念，Meissen這組Red
Dragon紅龍全手繪杯盤組將紅龍描繪的栩栩如生，在生動之餘還營造了一點"俏皮龍"的感覺，呈現設計師的巧妙藝術風格。

Porcelain during the Enlightenment era of 18th-century Europe
symbolized the wealth and status of royal and aristocratic
elites, with the origins of European porcelain closely tied to
Meissen porcelain from Germany. Meissen porcelain introduced the
"Red Dragon" pattern in 1730, during the reign of Augustus,
Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. It marked the first use of
the "Dragon in Flight" motif on banquet tableware, and this
pattern remained exclusive to the Saxon royal family until
1918.
瓷器在18世紀歐洲啟蒙時代象徵了皇室貴族的財富與地位，歐洲瓷器的起源更與德國Meissen瓷器密不可分。麥森磁器在1730年首次出現"紅龍"圖案，當時在位的是薩克森選侯~波蘭國王"奧古斯特"首次在宴會餐具上運用"龍騰"圖飾，而這個圖飾一直到1918年都是薩克森王室所獨享。

The dragon symbolizes formidable and auspicious power, particularly
in its control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. In
Chinese culture, exceptional and outstanding individuals are often
likened to dragons, and in Chinese art, the dragon frequently
represents the emperor himself. Many Chinese proverbs and idioms
reference the dragon, such as "望子成龍" (hoping one's child will
become a dragon) and "龍馬精神" (the spirit of the dragon and the
horse).
龍象徵著強大和吉祥的力量，特別是對水、降雨、颱風和洪水的控制。在中國文化中，優秀和傑出的人被比作龍，在中國繪畫中，龍往往象徵著皇帝本人。許多中國諺語和成語都提到了龍，例如「望子成龍」和「龍馬精神」。

Chinese dragons have long claws, horns on their heads, scales covering
their bodies, and sharp teeth along their spines. Typically, a pearl is
depicted around the dragon, which appears as a radiant sphere, either
being swallowed or emitted from the dragon's mouth. In Chinese
porcelain, it is common to find depictions of two dragons contesting for
the pearl, illustrating two opposing dragons that symbolize both the
power of yang (heaven) and yin (earth).
中國龍的爪子很長，頭上長著角，身上覆蓋著鱗片，脊上有鋒利的牙齒。通常，龍的周圍也描繪一顆珍珠，珍珠像一個發光的球體，它要么吞下，要么從嘴裡吐出來。中國瓷器上，經常畫出雙龍搶珠的圖案，描繪了兩條相對的龍，它們既代表了陽(天)的力量，也代表了陰(地)的力量。

Before the unification of Germany, Meissen was a state-owned
enterprise located in East Germany. During that time,
porcelain was so expensive in Europe that it was often
referred to as "white gold," surpassing the value of actual
gold.
Meissen在德國尚未統一之前，是屬於東德的國營事業，而當時歐洲磁器之昂貴簡直貴比黃金，故磁器有"白色金子"之稱。

The marking of four lines on the back of the cup and saucer
signifies the "in-kind vouchers" provided to employees in
lieu of regular wages. This marking is not indicative of any
inferior quality or status.
杯盤背面mark劃四條線的意義，指的是員工的"實物代金"，以此代替薪資，所做的記號，並非指次級品的意思。
