In 1911, Meissen produced a now extremely rare catalogue of the porcelain figures manufactured in the latter part of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century. The catalogue contained around 1800 photographic images with model numbers but no descriptions or other information and was used by Meissen salesmen to show to retailers and to gain orders. This book reproduces the catalogue in its entirety, with the addition of descriptions for the models, with information on size, modeller, and series. Many of the figures from the catalogue are also illustrated in colour, showing the intricate and beautiful work of Meissen at its best. To aid collectors wishing to identify models, a comprehensive index lists models by classification, e.g. Birds, Boxes, Cats, Chandeliers, Clocks, Cupids, Dancers, Dogs, Gardeners, Hunters, Lovers, Music, and more. This reference book is designed for collectors and dealers and for all those who are captivated by this unique porcelain.
