A world of experience
House of MEISSEN®
MANUFACTORY SINCE 1710
DEMONSTRATION WORKSHOPS
Within the Manufactory of Meissen, near Dresden, the
world of Meissen Porcelain® comes to life in the House of
MEISSEN® exhibit.
The human hand has remained our number one tool for
centuries.
Today, MEISSEN® stands for extraordinary and indeed unique
craftsmanship. With great
passion, the Manufactory
creates exclusive products in the areas of
limited artworks, architecture and interiors, as well as jewellery and accessories.
The combination of
our own raw materials, extracted from
Europe’s smallest mine,
our top-secret paint laboratory,
where
about
10,000 different brilliant
colour shades are created, longterm in-house training and the ongoing influence of Asian and European styles
all add up to the exclusive MEISSEN® look.
The Demonstration Workshops invite you to experience
how the famous Meissen Porcelain® takes shape before
your very eyes. How are cups made? How many individual
pieces are there in a typical figurine and how do the blue
swords get beneath the glaze? A tour of the Demonstration
Workshops provides answers to all these questions. You
will witness the principal stages of the manufacturing process, these being moulding and throwing, the crafting of
figurines (“repairing”) and both underglaze and overglaze
decorations.
Public tours with an audio guide are
available in 14 different languages.
Private tours with a tour
guide, available in 9
languages, can be
booked in advance.

as part of the Manufactory’s tercentennial celebrations. It displays characteristic Meissen Porcelain® pieces produced
