MEISSEN - ANTIQUE PORCELAIN IN COLOR by Hugo Morley-Fletcher, Doubleday & Co. NY 1971 First Edition.

Starting from its foundation in 1710, the author traces the history of the Meissen factory through the factory’s greatest period from 1710 to 1760, which is naturally treated in greatest depth, and continues the story through the 18th and 19th centuries. A special section discusses the early wares decorated by outside enamellers, or Hausmaler. This book covers by chapter: The Early Years at Meissen; Chinoiserie Decoration; Modelling before J.J. Kandler; The Kakiemon Style; The Work of J.J. Kandler in the 1730’s; The Great Baroque Services; Decoration in the 1730’s; Naturalistic Decoration; Figure Modelling after 1740: Kandler, Reinicke, and Eberlein; Small Boxes and Other Products; Decoration outside the factory; Meissen after the Seven Years War; and 19th Century Production. Hundreds of examples are pictured and described in depth including figures, vases, plates, cups and saucers, snuff boxes and other small porcelain decorated boxes, coffee and tea pots, and more. This hard-to-find text is an invaluable resource reference work and belongs in the permanent reference library of the collector, dealer, or historian of antique Meissen porcelain.
