Meissen Porcelain Manufactory : 300 Years Now! (NEW VERSION; HD) * Brandenburg Cto No. 5 / Karajan

(NEW VERSION of Meissen video posted 2 years ago.) * * * HAPPY 300th BIRTHDAY, MEISSEN PORCELAIN! * * *

September 2007.

Visit at the famous and historical Meissen Porcelain Manufactory in Germany (founded in 1710), where some of the world's most exquisitely crafted porcelain pieces are made. It's also known as Europe's first porcelain manufactory.

Starts with a workshop tour for all visitors, who each get a hand-held audio guide in various languages.

Then a visit to the museum, which holds the company's invaluable historical pieces, figurines and tableaux.

If you've got a fat pocketbook (a very fat one!), you may want to take home a piece or two from the Meissen shop.

The Meissen Restaurant offers some of the finest dining anywhere, with elegantly presented, delightful and delicious dishes served on beautiful Meissen china, all at reasonable rates. (It's the only place I've dined where the hot food stayed hot from the first morsel to last - a testament to the heat-holding properties of Meissen china.)

A must-see place for all visitors to Germany!
