COLLECTION<br />

Grace & ELEGANCE<br />

of a LOVE STORY<br />

King Augustus III (1696-1763) wanted to surprise his consort<br />

Maria Josepha with a particularly special gift. Thus it was that,<br />

at his monarch’s behest, <strong>MEISSEN</strong> ® master modeller<br />

Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706-1775) created the first tableware<br />

service with the famous “Snowball Blossoms” in 1739. Almost<br />

300 years on, the royal blossoms now lend a mesmerising touch<br />

to today’s modern princesses and queens in the form of intricately<br />

elegant items of jewellery.<br />
