Description:
A stunning and authentic Meissen “Green Dragon” (also known as Green Ming Dragon) porcelain tea service, hand-painted in rich emerald green with 24k gold highlights. This exquisite six-piece set includes a teapot, creamer, sugar bowl, and two matching cups with scalloped rims and saucers, all displaying Meissen’s signature artistry and craftsmanship.

Each piece bears the Meissen crossed swords mark in underglaze blue on the base, along with hand-painted production numbers (47 and 75) that identify the artisan and period of manufacture. The detailing throughout is meticulous — from the flowing dragon motif to the delicate gilt trim on handles, spouts, and edges.

This pattern was originally inspired by 18th-century Chinese porcelain and symbolizes strength, prosperity, and vitality. The Green Dragon design remains one of Meissen’s most collectible and enduring motifs, prized for its vibrant hand-painted color and European interpretation of classical Eastern design.

Condition:
Exceptional condition — no chips, cracks, crazing, or restorations. The gilding remains bright with minimal to no wear. Displayed in a cabinet and rarely, if ever, used.
