Yellow Lion / Gelber Löwe<br />
TRUMPETER<br />
TROMPETER<br />
At the beginning of the first century lions arrived<br />
in China as tributes to the imperial court.<br />
“Old Yellow Lion” or “Ornate old yellow lion”<br />
are <strong>MEISSEN</strong> ® patterns which were developed<br />
after East Asian motifs depicting what were<br />
actually tigers as opposed to lions.<br />
Anfang des ersten Jahrhunderts nach Christus<br />
gelangten Löwen als Tributgeschenke an<br />
den Kaiserlichen Hof nach China. „Alter gelber<br />
Löwe“ und „Reicher alter gelber Löwe“ sind<br />
Bezeichnungen Meissener Dekore, die nach<br />
ostasiatischen Vorbildern entstanden sind und<br />
Tiger darstellen.
