SO-SCH-1996-0764301705-X4 The Book of Meissen, 2nd Ed by Robert E Rontgen ISBN: 9780764301704 Book Title: The Book of Meissen, Second Edition Author: Robert E. Rontgen Binding: Hard Cover with dust jacket Copyright: 1996 Pages: 333 Size: 8.5 x 11 in. The Book of Meissen traces the history of Meissen porcelain from the "goldmaker" Johann Freidrich Bottger's first tests to the latest design, "Japan Form", for oriental dishes, that was first shown in 1983. The most typical, not only the most beautiful creations of Meissen are shown and described. Special attention is given to the 19th and 20th century products of the manufactory, neglected in most books about Meissen. In thirteen chapters the book describes all facettes of the Meissen manufactory: The present state of the manufactory and its latest creations, Bottger's first ceramic invention, the red stoneware and its re-discovery in the 20th century, sculptural Meissen art, the different shapes and forms of tableware, Meissen painting and decorations, and the much neglected little things the manufactory made like medals and coins, lithopanes, tiles, knick-knacks and technical porcelain. 1,283 Illustrations (Description generated 2026-05-24) b869565be1035b89cf9d596ab3f6f364
