An exceptional and refined tea set produced by the legendary Meissen manufactory, decorated in the iconic Green “Ming Dragon” pattern.
This elegant ensemble represents one of Meissen’s most recognizable Oriental-inspired designs, featuring vivid green dragons in dynamic motion, surrounded by stylized flaming pearls. The composition reflects a strong influence of East Asian symbolism, reinterpreted through the precision and finesse of European porcelain artistry.
Each piece is crafted from fine white porcelain of remarkable translucency and delicacy. The decoration shows clear evidence of hand-painted finishing, with subtle variations in line work and detailing that bring the dragons to life. The forms are enhanced with carefully applied gilding along the rims and sculptural elements, adding a refined classical accent.
The sculptural quality of the teapot, with its elegant handle, detailed spout, and floral finial, demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with Meissen production. The set remains visually striking both as a functional tea service and as a display piece.
All items bear the underglaze blue crossed swords mark, along with red inventory or pattern numbers.
