”This volume provides the first comprehensive survey of art nouveau porcelain of the Meissen Manufactory; it reveals a number of extensive and largely unknown interrelationships with contemporary artists like Riemerschmid, Van de Velde and others. The three primary areas of artistic production at the turn of the century are subject to detailed scrutiny: decorative and household porcelain figures. This is done by analyzing the structure of the firm, the relationship betwee...n tradition and innovation, the role of international competition and the results of collaboration with free-lance artists.”
