Meissen Porcelain Identification and Value Guide

Meissen porcelain is eagerly collected throughout the world. It is traded vigorously at antique shows, auctions, and on the Internet. As antique dealers for 23 years, we have always loved the wonderful porcelains made at Meissen because of their fine hand painting and gilt detail. No two pieces are alike because everything at Meissen is done by hand. We believe Meissen employed the best flower, portrait, and figure artists of the day. Meissen porcelain itself is unique. It is harder, whiter, and more translucent than that made by other porcelain manufacturers.
