    For Immediate Release 30 October 2006 Contact: Christina Freyberg +44 20 7 752 3120 [email protected] Alexandra Kindermann +44 20 7 389 2289 [email protected] MEISSEN MASTERPIECES EXQUISITE AND RARE PORCELAIN MODELS FROM THE ROYAL HOUSE OF SAXONY TO BE OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON British and Continental Ceramics Christie’s King Street Monday, 18 December 2006 London – A collection of four 18th century Meissen porcelain masterpieces are to be offered for sale in London on 18 December 2006 in the British and Continental Ceramics sale. This outstanding Meissen collection includes two white porcelain models of a lion and lioness (estimate: £3,000,000-5,000,000) and a white model of a fox and hen (estimate: £200,000-300,000) commissioned for the Japanese Palace in Dresden together with a white element vase in the form of a ewer (£10,000-15,000). “The porcelain menagerie was an ambitious and unparalleled project in the history of ceramics and the magnificent size of these models is a testament to the skill of the Meissen factory,” said Rodney Woolley, Director and Head of European Ceramics. “The sheer exuberance of these examples bears witness to the outstanding modelling of Kirchner and Kändler. The opportunity to acquire these Meissen masterpieces from the direct descendants of Augustus the Strong is unique and we are thrilled to have been entrusted with their sale,” he continued. The works of art have been recently restituted to the heirs of the Royal House of Saxony, the Wettin family. Commenting on the Meissen masterpieces, a spokesperson for the Royal House of Saxony said: “The Wettin family has worked closely, and over many years with the authorities to achieve a successful outcome of the restitution of many works of art among which are these four Meissen porcelain objects, commissioned by our forebear Augustus the Strong.

  • Chairmen's Foreword
    THE MEISSEN AGREEMENT TEXTS Chairmen's Foreword 1 The immediate stimulus for this statement dates from 1983, the fifth centenary of Martin Luther's birth. In that year major public celebrations were held in Leipzig and Worms, and the Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Robert Runcie) chose this opportunity to propose that closer relations should be established between the Church of England and the German Evangelical Churches. This initiative met a warm response from the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany and the Church Leaders' Conference of the Federation of the Evangelical) Churches in the German Democratic Republic. 2 Increasingly cordial relations had, in fact, been developing since 1945. The main focus for church links between England and the German Democratic Republic has been the partnership between Coventry and Dresden, though there have been numerous other contacts as well. The growing fellowship between the Evangelical Church in Germany and the Church of England — fully documented in a pamphlet by Oberkirchenrat K. Kremkau1) — has included not only local twinning links, but also official theological conversations since 1964. 3 A further impetus to developing these relationships was given by the publication of the reports of the Anglican-Lutheran European Commission (1982), the International Anglican-Lutheran Joint Working Group ( 1983), the Anglican-Reformed International Commission ( 1984) and the text Baptism, Eucharist and Ministry of the Faith and Order Commission of The World Council of Churches ( 1982). 4 The presence of Anglican congregations in the Federal Republic of Germany and of Evangelical German-speaking congregations in Great Britain is an additional factor underlining the desirability of closer links.

  • BREAKING PORCELAIN: a Journey in the Curatorship of Inherited Meissen Shards
    . i BREAKING PORCELAIN: A Journey in the Curatorship of Inherited Meissen Shards by Michaela Howse 13436511 Thesis presented in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Visual Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Ernst van der Wal March 2017 . ii . iii DECLARATION By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly oth- erwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtain- ing any quali cation. Date: March 2017 . iv . v ABSTRACT Breaking Porcelain is a personal journey in the curatorship of inherited porcelain shards. A Meissen porcelain collection, once belonging to my great, great grandparents – German Jewish collectors in Dresden – was stolen by the Nazis, partly lost and partly bombed in the fi rebombing of Dresden, later in part recovered from the destruction, and then further held in East Germany until the remains of the collection, a great deal of it broken, were fi nally returned to the family. Broken and scarred, the porce- lain fragments I have inherited serve as memorials that bear the evidence of their complex pasts. At the heart of the curatorial project lies the intention to understand the value and relevance of these porcelain fragments today. This involves exploration into the contexts that informed them during their history as well as appreciation of the effects they have had on people’s lives in the recent past.

  • The Discovery of European Porcelain Technology
    Preprint from: QUEIROZ, C. M.; AGATHOPOULOS, S. (2005) - The discovery of European porcelain technology. In PRUDÊNCIO, Mª Isabel; DIAS, Mª Isabel; WAERENBORGH, J. C., eds. – Understanding people through their pottery (Trabalhos de Arqueologia; N.º 42). Lisboa: Instituto Português de Arqueologia, p. 211-215. The Discovery of European Porcelain Technology C.M. Queiroz1, S. Agathopoulos Ceramics and Glass Engineering Department, University of Aveiro, University Campus, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal 1corresponding author; email: [email protected] Key Words: August the Strong, Böttger, Meissen, History of Porcelain, Tschirnhaus Abstract The European quest for the hard paste porcelain lasted until about 1710, when the first production unit was built at Meissen in Saxony. Although, it is generally believed that Böttger discovered the European porcelain technology, this work shows that the German porcelain quest was a State affair; a collective project directed by Tschirnhaus and supported by August the Strong. It also aims to shed light to the reasons that led to Tschirnhaus’s relative oblivion.
