Meissen: Limited Masterworks

Floral Gold Vine Bowl

Golden artistry on Böttger stoneware – a bowl that speaks in details

One glance is enough to understand why Meissen captivates collectors around the world: The strictly limited “Florale Goldranke” bowl from the Limited Masterworks (949284) collection unites historic craftsmanship with luxurious flair. Warm, velvety Böttger stoneware forms the backdrop for hand-applied 24-karat gold, swirling across the rim like a blooming wreath. Every stroke is intentional, every leaf a miniature sculpture. Measuring 20.5 cm in diameter and 5.5 cm in height, this bowl becomes a striking centerpiece on a table, console or sideboard – radiating elegance, depth and character.

Crafted from the legendary material invented by Johann Friedrich Böttger, the stoneware offers a unique richness, warmth and exceptional durability. This piece is one of only 100 worldwide and comes from our in-store exhibition. It has been handled with utmost care; due to age, minor signs of wear on the underside may occur – subtle, rare and without affecting the beauty or integrity of the artwork. For many collectors, such gentle patina is part of the story a handcrafted piece tells.

Meissen – craftsmanship shaped by heritage

The Limited Masterworks collection is Meissen’s tribute to its own artistic history: traditional techniques, complex decorative methods and the unwavering precision of master artisans. The “Florale Goldranke” is one of these remarkable creations where gold application is fully executed by hand, delicately shaded and fired to preserve its brilliance for decades.

As Europe’s oldest porcelain manufactory, Meissen is renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, material innovation and meticulous attention to detail. Böttger stoneware, one of its great inventions, is unmistakable: deep in color, velvety in texture and nearly indestructible. Each piece is crafted in Germany through elaborate manual processes – from shaping and casting to engraving and final firing. For those who appreciate artistry that stands the test of time.

A standalone masterpiece – yet easy to pair

The “Florale Goldranke” bowl shines beautifully on its own but pairs equally well with other Meissen pieces, gold-accented décor or interiors in warm, rich tones. Whether placed on dark wood, marble or within a modern display case, it becomes a focal point that sparks conversation and admiration.
