paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Meissen Manufactory: Art, Industry, and Identity Across Three CenturiesFor over three hundred years, the Meissen manufactory has stood at the intersection of artistic innovation, technical mastery, and economic ambition. Founded in 1710 as the first European producer of hard-paste porcelain, it transformed a closely guarded secret into one of the most celebrated luxury industries in the world. Yet its history is far more than a story of success.This book offers a comprehensive and accessible account of Meissen's development from its origins in alchemy and royal patronage to its position as a modern heritage brand. Drawing on a wide range of historical and scholarly sources, it explores the key artistic periods, personalities, and innovations that shaped the manufactory's identity-from the pioneering experiments of Johann Friedrich Boettger and the refined painting of Johann Gregor Hoeroldt to the sculptural brilliance of Johann Joachim Kaendler and the evolving aesthetics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.At its core, the book reveals a recurring tension that has defined Meissen across the centuries: the balance between artistic ambition and commercial necessity. This dynamic has driven both its greatest achievements and its most challenging moments, influencing everything from stylistic development to strategic decision-making.Rich in historical detail yet written with clarity and narrative flow, this study not only traces the evolution of Meissen porcelain but also offers insight into the broader cultural, political, and economic forces that shaped European decorative arts. It is an essential resource for collectors, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of luxury, craftsmanship, and artistic production. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
