Meissen Porcelain Manufactory pays tribute to fine Meissen porcelain and china, the first type of hard-paste porcelain crafted in Europe beginning in 1710. The porcelain was invented by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus and became known as one of the world's foremost types of porcelain, known for its signature crossed swords logo, one of the oldest brand trademarks in existence today. Visitors can learn about the company's high-quality workmanship at the manufactory, which is home to attractions such as the House of MEISSEN, which features the Museum of the Meissen Porcelain Foundation, documenting the manufactory's history over the past several centuries and displaying a vast collection of pieces. Demonstration workshops showcase the artisanal techniques that go into crafting the company's porcelain, including potter's wheel demonstrations and glaze painting showcases.
