The process of making Irish Dresden was first discovered in the ancient town of Messier near Dresden in Germany in the early 18th Century. In the late 19th Century Anton Muller, a talented young artist, established a workshop in Volkstedt and quickly gained a reputation for his fine lace figurines. Following the Second World War, family members were forced to leave what was then East Germany and the current Irish Dresden company was established at Dromcolliher, County Limerick establishing in Ireland the traditions and skills of fine lace porcelain manufacture. Today Irish Dresden is revered throughout the world for the skilled craftsmanship and uniqueness of its figurines. Real Cotton lace impregnated with porcelain clay is used to dress the figurines and hand made porcelain flowers or other decorations are added. They are then glazed and each piece is hand painted by craftsmen. The faces are hand painted - eyes - pupil - eyebrows - mouth. The flesh color is hand painted on the figurine and the rosy cheeks are powdered. Irish Dresden uses ceramic colors. These colors are mixed fresh every day for best results.Vest and coats have to be hand painted. The man's coat may need 2 paint fires to achieve the rich colour. All the designs on our figurines are hand drawn, the floral designs on the dresses are hand drawn and hand painted. Each piece is unique and tells its own history. 24 carat gold is used. They are extremely fragile and have to be handled with great care so that the very fancy "lace" that ornaments the figurines is preserved.
