Example Translation from German to English
Since its foundation in 1710, MEISSEN, as the oldest porcelain manufactory in Europe, has played a key role in the formulation of European dining and table culture. The Baroque occupies a special position within this tradition, and its opulent celebrations and richly ornate table decorations were highly influential on the manufactory’s early decades. More so than in any other era, it was necessary to design decorative works of art that combine utility with rich symbolism and the highest aesthetic standards.
