Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg has been handcrafting finest porcelain since 1747. Services, figures and objects of the greatest purity – with each piece being unique – are produced using traditional methods at a single location in the world – at the Nördliches Schlossrondell in Nymphenburg. Each plate is turned by hand, each vase cast by hand, each ornament applied by hand – because the machine doesn't exist that is able to recreate the individuality that may be achieved by hand.
Some models from the around 20,000 designs may only be worked by the craftspeople after they have spent decades refining their techniques and training. Other objects consist of thousands of individual pieces and require the coordination of skills from almost 20 different trades. The wealth of experience and specialist knowledge are passed down from generation to generation – because such artistic work is only possible with this kind of continuity.
Soon after being established, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg started to successfully cooperate with famous artists – a cooperation that continues to this day. For instance, the company achieved world renown with Franz Anton Bustelli from Ticino, who as the model master assumed the artistic directorship at the company from 1754. His rococo designs, and particularly his main body of work – the 16 figures from the Commedia dell'Arte – count undisputedly among the most artistic pieces of his time. |
