The Porcelain Collection of Augustus the Strong and Augustus III.

At the beginning of the 18th century, Saxony pulled off a major coup: revealing the Chinese and Japanese secret of how to produce the "white gold". From then on, the first European porcelain manufactory in Meissen competed with the highly valued imports from the Far East. Find out how on this tour of the royal collection.
