Several years later, with the monarch\u2019s patience wearing thin, B\u00f6ttger and fellow researchers, including the <strong>mathematician, physicist and mineralogist Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus<\/strong>, had a breakthrough: in 1708, they uncovered the closely guarded secret of porcelain production. Their groundbreaking discovery soon was known around the world as Meissen porcelain. At that time, porcelain was <strong>a highly prized luxury item<\/strong>, imported almost exclusively from Asia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1710, August the Strong established Europe\u2019s first porcelain manufactory in Albrechtsburg Castle, Germany\u2019s oldest castle, high above the rooftops of Meissen. Around 150 years later, production was relocated to its current site, just a short walk away.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-porzellan-manufaktur-meissen-ein-blick-hinter-die-kulissen\">Meissen Porcelain Manufactory: A Look Behind the Scenes<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" style=\"--aspect-ratio: calc(1024 \/ 600);\" data-effect=\"slide\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\">\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\r\n \t<li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\">\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-44020\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Porzellan-Manufaktur-Meissen_Aufglasurmalerei-Mingdrache\u00a9.jpg\" alt=\"Frau bemalt Porzellanteller in der Porzelan-Manufaktur Meissen mit orangefarbenem Drachenmotiv.\" data-id=\"44020\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1024 \/ 600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Porzellan-Manufaktur-Meissen_Aufglasurmalerei-Mingdrache\u00a9.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Porzellan-Manufaktur-Meissen_Aufglasurmalerei-Mingdrache\u00a9-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Porzellan-Manufaktur-Meissen_Aufglasurmalerei-Mingdrache\u00a9-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">One of the most recognisable Meissen overglaze decorations is the Ming dragon motif.
