Good thread idea. Worth time dwelling on beautiful art.
Meissen porcelain is just excellent. The factory was destroyed during the Dresden firebombing, I believe many of the workers killed, and a great source of craftsmanship was lost.
Handmade porcelain flower petals. Hundreds of them.
I'm no porcelain aficionado (Meissen has a little family story for me), but these items are beautiful and make me happy. Imagine the work it took to make such a beautiful thing whilst enduring grey German winters. I hope it brought the workers joy.
After the war, a factory was rebuilt, producing "Dresden" porcelains. No disrespect to the new craftsmen, but the Meissen products are more to my preference.

Some crypto entrepreneur just paid $6.2 million for a banana taped to a wall. Nothing sketchy going on here...
