The “Schneeballen” (“Snowball”) service represents one of the most extraordinary creations of the Meissen manufactory. Designed in 1739 by Johann Joachim Kaendler (1706–1775), it is distinguished by its exuberant decoration, entirely covered with individually hand-applied porcelain flowers. This unique decoration, reminiscent of the delicate blossoms of cherry trees, exemplifies the pinnacle of technical virtuosity achieved by Meissen in the 18th century. Its prestige among European courts is evidenced by the commission from Frederick II of Prussia for the halls of the Neues Palais in Potsdam.
