Book excerpt: "Augustus the Strong (1670-1733) had long been a collector of Japanese and Chinese porcelain, and it was to house his collection that the Japanese Palace in Dresden was purchased. In 1729 Augustus enlarged the building to nearly double its original size in order to create a "porcelain palace." One gallery was to be entirely devoted to Meissen porcelain, including the exceptional animal figures that are the subject of this book and the exhibition it accompanies."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Meissen written by Laurence Mitchell and published by Antique Collectors Club Dist. This book was released on 2004 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1911, Meissen produced a now extremely rare catalogue of the porcelain figures manufactured in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century. The catalogue contained around 1800 photographic images with model numbers but no descriptions or other information and was used by Meissen salesmen to show to retailers and to gain orders. This book reproduces the catalogue in its entirety, with the addition of descriptions for the models, with information on size, modeller, and series. Many of the figures from the catalogue are also illustrated in colour, showing the intricate and beautiful work of Meissen at its best. To aid collectors wishing to identify models, a comprehensive index lists models by classification, e.g. Birds, Boxes, Cats, Chandeliers, Clocks, Cupids, Dancers, Dogs, Gardeners, Hunters, Lovers, Music, and more. This reference book is designed for collectors and dealers and for all those who are captivated by this unique porcelain.
