To pierce porcelain before firing requires extraordinary skill and precision; each aperture cut by hand through the unfired clay body, with no margin for error. The result is a plate of remarkable delicacy and visual drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeissen’s blue and white tradition draws on the Chinese export porcelain that first captivated European courts in the 17th century — and which inspired the founding of the Meissen factory itself in 1710. By the 19th century, Meissen had fully mastered and reinterpreted this tradition in its own distinctive idiom. A piece of this type represents both the pinnacle of technical achievement and the enduring beauty of blue and white ceramic art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePiece Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaker:\u003c\/b\u003e Meissen, Saxony, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eType:\u003c\/b\u003e Decorative plate with pierced (reticulated) border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDecoration:\u003c\/b\u003e Blue and white underglaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e 19th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Hard-paste porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique, pre-owned piece in lovely overall condition.
