Meissen porcelain blue onion decor soup plates
The history of the "onion motif" è is rooted in the development of the Meissen blue painting technique and its special aesthetic effect on porcelain. Soon after the invention of the first European porcelain and the founding of the manufactory in 1710, the search began for a very special blue that would emphasize the unprecedented white of porcelain and at the same time harmonize with it.
The combination of cobalt and oxygen proved to be extremely heat resistant and perfectly suited to the high firing temperatures used for Meissen porcelain.
Inspired by East Asian patterns, which at the time were predominantly blue, Meissen's radiant blue "Onion Pattern" was created in 1731 and would become world famous.
The "onions" of the pattern are not in fact onions, but rather peaches and pomegranates lining the rim.
