Now, as a result of endowments or gifts, a number of these magnificent collections can be found in Switzerland's renowned institutions. Today Swiss connoisseurs are still fascinated by the 'white gold' from Saxony. This publication, enriched by articles by renowned art historians and porcelain experts, is dedicated to their passionate collecting and exceptional treasures. An impressive overview of the most precious Meissen porcelain of the early period!" Back cover.
