Qu Guangci at Meißen

Oh, I hope you guys are into porcelain… This is just a tiny snippet of all the wonderful things I saw at the Porcelain Manufactur of Meißen.

(Believe it or not, I went by myself because no one wanted to go! Strange stuff.)

Admittedly, I was looking forward to all the kitsch, but the outstanding craftsmanship somehow outdid the motifs. On two stories, the Museum exhibits classical porcelain work as well as modern engagement with the material. They also offer a tour through the show workshop, which I highly recommend. All in all, I stayed a good three hours and you bet, I learned a lot about porcelain. The city of Meißen has a beautiful vibe to it and offers many more sights for a nice weekend getaway or a great setting for a fancy wedding.

So, Angel of Joy by Qu Guangci is just a teaser for all the angels, deer and plates to come …

School Holidays are over in Berlin, so seems summer, and it’s about time for this girl to get some work done!

Have a great Hump Day; we’ve got this!

Well thank you and wait for all the porcelain to come ,🥳

I could be completely wrong, but this very unique piece looks like Mao Tse Tung. Can’t wait to see the rest!

There’s never anything wrong with what you see! I doubt it’s a coincidence:)
Kiki – Switzerland – Swiss woman - living here, there, elsewhere - And after 12+yrs in France, I’ve now moved back permanently to my home country. I’m very much into reading, singing, playing music, I enjoy gardening (but even more so sitting in a garden with a drink in one hand, a charming person opposite me, or a book in the other hand!!!), I'm a DIY person with varying degrees in doing everything from badly to superbly, I love company, cooking, dining with Hero Husband (HH), family, friends and anybody I meet, I love candles, sunshine, hot tea and red wine, value friendships highly, I’m an avid writer & reader, I have no TV, bad eyesight by now and do my photo work now with my phone camera. You can speak to me in English, Deutsch, Schwyzertütsch, Français, Italiano, and if you talk food, I’m quite sure that I also understand what you’re saying in Portuguese and Spanish.... I speak beautifully with my hands waving and feet dancing - and I'm a good listener, that works in any language :) My prof. background covers anything from humble secretary to personal assistant, right (and left) hand to important people, I adored working in international environments (hence my living in many countries too), but just as much I loved and still love intimate 'constellations', I do a lot of thinking and writing for myself and I love REAL honest people, simple pleasures, as well as believing in thankfulness, honesty and friendliness. I have early on decided not to join Facebook and I'm glad about this decision. Today more so than ever. Also, due to my bad (and worsening) eye-sight, I do have an Instagram account but no photos, I just indulge in my friends work and it allows me to comment. Same thing on Twitter. I'm on Pinterest, but not obsessive so... I however hope to go back to my Flickr photosite sometime.

I thought so too, but then I thought: Naaah, not when it’s Meissen!

  He he, for your sake, it will not involve gnomes! They don’t seem to do them in porcelain. (I should look into that)

  I think you should! I mean, what’s a piece of porcelain if it doesn’t include a gnome or three?! 😉

Funny, I thought so too, but then I thought: Naaaah, can’t be, or it wouldn’t reside in Meissen!

you managed pretty well to catch the kitschiest of all Angels of Joy, not looking very pleased with him/herself! 🙂
