Early Meissen porcelain is among the most sought after and widely collected European ceramics in the world.
Although the well known Swan Service pattern is still in production today, it was originally made between 1737 and 1743.
Original pieces are owned by a great wealth of collectors, so finding one is a rare event indeed.
Look out for rococo style pieces and figures by early Meissen sculptors like Johann Joachim Kaendler, Johann Friedrich Eberlein and Peter Reinecke.
That's if you have the budget to invest in some of the best porcelain Meissen has to offer.
