Additional Information

Notes historical bibliographic

The "Zwiebelmuster" or "Onion Blue", commonly known to us as the "Onion Pattern", has become a bit of a symbol of the Meissen Manufactory over the centuries. It is painted in cobalt blue underglaze and depicts highly stylised flowers, trees and fruit. The oldest piece made in Meissen with this decoration, inspired by a Chinese design from the Kangxi era, is dated 1739 and was painted directly by Hoeroldt. It features stylised peonies, Japanese peaches, asters and pomegranates that develop sinuously around a bamboo cane. Each of these elements has a precise meaning in oriental symbolism. They represent: longevity (the bamboo), good luck (the peony), gaiety (the aster), immortality (the peach) and fertility (the pomegranate).
