Meissen cup and saucer Red Dragon 《WareWish》 Meissen Red Dragon cup and saucer 1 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...
