    ‘A Mind to Copy’: Inspired by Meissen Anton Gabszewicz Independent Ceramic Historian, London Figure 1. Sir Charles Hanbury Williams by John Giles Eccardt. 1746 (National Portrait Gallery, London.) 20 he association between Nicholas Sprimont, part owner of the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, Sir Everard Fawkener, private sec- retary to William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, the second son of King George II, and Sir Charles Hanbury Williams, diplomat and Tsometime British Envoy to the Saxon Court at Dresden was one that had far-reaching effects on the development and history of the ceramic industry in England. The well-known and oft cited letter of 9th June 1751 from Han- bury Williams (fig. 1) to his friend Henry Fox at Holland House, Kensington, where his china was stored, sets the scene. Fawkener had asked Hanbury Williams ‘…to send over models for different Pieces from hence, in order to furnish the Undertakers with good designs... But I thought it better and cheaper for the manufacturers to give them leave to take away any of my china from Holland House, and to copy what they like.’ Thus allowing Fawkener ‘… and anybody He brings with him, to see my China & to take away such pieces as they have a mind to Copy.’ The result of this exchange of correspondence and Hanbury Williams’ generous offer led to an almost instant influx of Meissen designs at Chelsea, a tremendous impetus to the nascent porcelain industry that was to influ- ence the course of events across the industry in England. Just in taking a ca- sual look through the products of most English porcelain factories during Figure 2.

  • Modern, Elegant and Wonderfully Versatile
    MODERN, ELEGANT AND WONDERFULLY VERSATILE. MEISSEN® COSMOPOLITAN CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT DINING SERVICES. WWW.MEISSEN.COM 1 AM-000076 TABLEWARE MEISSEN® COSMOPOLITAN STAATLICHE PORZELLAN-MANUFAKTUR MEISSEN GMBH 2 3 ABOUT US Meissen Porcelain Manufactory Meissen porcelain was born out of passion. Augustus the Strong (1670- 1733), Elector of Saxony, zealously pursued the so-called white gold after becoming struck with “Maladie de Porcelaine.” It was for him that alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682-1719) created the first European porcelain in 1708. At MEISSEN, this storied passion remains the fundament of the manufactory’s masterful works up to this day. More than 300 years of tra- dition and exquisite craftsmanship, unbounded imagination and an avowed dedication to modernity come together to create a timeless aesthetic that can be lived and experienced – every piece handmade in Germany. In 1710, Augustus the Strong decreed the founding of the Meissen porce- lain manufactory, making it the oldest in Europe. The signet of two crossed swords has been the unmistakable trademark of Meissen porcelain since 1722. The swords represent the uncompromising quality, unsurpassed craftsmanship and cultural heritage to which MEISSEN remains committed to this day: from the purest raw material sourced from the manufactory’s own kaolin mine, the world’s largest and oldest trove of moulds, models, patterns and decorations spanning centuries of artistic epochs, to the 10,000 proprietary paint formulas created in the on-site laboratory. And last but not least, they stand for the unsurpassed handicraft, experience and dedication of the manufactory’s artisans, lending every Meissen piece its one-of-a-kind beauty.

  • 9. Ceramic Arts
    Profile No.: 38 NIC Code: 23933 CEREMIC ARTS 1. INTRODUCTION: Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials, including clay. It may take forms including art ware, tile, figurines, sculpture, and tableware. Ceramic art is one of the arts, particularly the visual arts. Of these, it is one of the plastic arts. While some ceramics are considered fine art, some are considered to be decorative, industrial or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artifacts in archaeology. Ceramic art can be made by one person or by a group of people. In a pottery or ceramic factory, a group of people design, manufacture and decorate the art ware. Products from a pottery are sometimes referred to as "art pottery".[1] In a one-person pottery studio, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat. It excludes glass and mosaic made from glass tesserae. There is a long history of ceramic art in almost all developed cultures, and often ceramic objects are all the artistic evidence left from vanished cultures. Elements of ceramic art, upon which different degrees of emphasis have been placed at different times, are the shape of the object, its decoration by painting, carving and other methods, and the glazing found on most ceramics. 2.

  • Etch Imitation System for Porcelain and Bone China (One-Fire-Decal-Method)
    Etch Imitation System for Porcelain and Bone China (One-Fire-Decal-Method) 1 General Information Etched decorations belong to the richest, most valuable precious metal designs to be found on tableware. However, etched decorations are not only work-intensive and expensive but they also require working with aggressive acids. Instead, producers work with etching imitation systems in which first a decal with a matt underlay and a bright relief on top is produced, applied onto the substrate to be decorated, and fired. Secondly, a liquid precious metal is applied by brush on top of the relief and the item is fired for a second time. With this Technical Information, Heraeus Ceramic Colours introduces a one-fire-etch imitation system for decals. The new decoration system consists of carefully adjusted components: special underlay, special medium, relief, precious metal paste. The perfect harmony of these components allows the production of an imitation etching in one decal, which only needs to be transferred and fired once! 2 Firing Conditions Substrate Firing Condition s Porcelain 800 - 820°C (1470-1508°F), 2 to 3 hours cold/cold Bone China 800 - 820°C (1470-1508°F), 2 to 3 hours cold/cold Worldwide there are many different glazes. The firing conditions differ from producer to producer. Pre-tests under own individual conditions are absolutely necessary. 3 Characteristics of the Products The product composition and the production process determine the major product characteristics of the components of the decoration system. Testing each production lot guarantees a constant product quality. With regard to the bright precious metal pastes of the system we regularly check the viscosity, the printing characteristics, the outline of printed test decorations as well as the precious metal colour shade and the brightness of the decoration after firing on a defined test substrate.
