About the set:
During the Romantic and Biedermeier eras, the porcelain painters at MEISSEN increasingly turned to classical, true-to-nature still lifes in the form of opulent flower arrangements. By the middle of the 19th century, the naturalistic style of painting had been fully developed at Meissen.
The “Strewn Flowers” are one of the most beloved decorative motifs of the Meissen manufactory. Created at the start of the 19th century, the design is typical of the Biedermeier era. The impetus was to feature the natural beauty of blossoms and flowers and thus pull away for the first time from archetypal East Asian designs, or “Flowers of the Indies”. As a variant of the “German Flowers” painting style, this Meissen decor exhibits certain unique characteristics. Strewn around a larger central flower are a variety of smaller blossoms, which painters can select from amongst three dozen flower motifs. Each had its own symbolism during the Biedermeier era and was used to express thoughts and sentiments. Painted on the porcelain by hand, the fine detail of the “Strewn Flowers” lends Meissen porcelain a particular vitality and an innate symbolism.
