In 1739, Meissen discovered a unique combination of cobalt and oxygen by that resulted in the ability to create rich blues that would survive the extreme heat of porcelain firing. The first pattern to use this new color was Blue Onion, inspired by East Asian motifs of pomegranates, peaches, bamboo, lotus blossoms, and chrysanthemums. Then as now, the underglaze is handpainted with fine brushstrokes onto the fired and porous substrate. The color quickly penetrates deeply into the still absorbent material, appearing dull grey. Only after glazing and a second firing at a temperature of 1,450° does it acquire its magically radiant, cobalt-blue hue. A sturdy overglaze protects the décor and makes it dishwasher-safe. The famous Crossed Swords of Meissen, used since 1888, can be found at the foot of the bamboo stalk. Handmade and handpainted in Germany by Europes first porcelain manufactory.
