Magnificent Big Dresden Fine Porcelain Figurines of 5 Women and 4 Men Playing and Enjoying Music. 36” Long. 18” Wide. 14” Tall. Perhaps the finest porcelain in history was produced inthe factories of Dresden and nearby Meissen, Germany, from the early 18th century until World War II, when Allied carpet bombing destroyed the city's porcelain industry. The factory was founded in 1872 and is still keeping alive the long tradition of European porcelain art. Few skillful shapers and painters are manufacturing delicate porcelain items purely by hand. In 1708, the Western porcelain was invented in Dresden being the baroque royal capital of Saxony. The famous “White Gold” started its triumphal march all over Europe from here. Dresden three-dimensional porcelain figurines produced at the height of the rococo revival in the late 19th century also can be distinguished by the craftsmanship and the elegance of the figures' expressions and attitudes. These Dresden figurines often portray aristocratic ladies and gentlemen engaged in the pursuits of the nobility, such as dancing or playing instruments. However, other pieces may portray more humble activities, such as a scene on the docks, or even stunningly lifelike individual birds and animals.
