Deutsche blumen
Literally translated as German flowers and referring to painted floral decoration which was widely used at porcelain and faience factories throughout Europe.
The style was introduced at vienna in the 1720s but perfected at meissen c1740 and later used at worcester, Bow Porcelain and the Chelsea Porcelain Factory.
The lifelike flowers, based on contemporary botanical illustrations appear as single blooms or in loose bunches, and replaced the more stylised indianische blumen. A version that incorporated a shadowing effect is known as ombrierte Blumen (shadowed flowers). |
