Wing pattern
The wing pattern is a decoration created at the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory in 1901.
Compared to other porcelain manufacturers, Meißen began very early on to modernize itself artistically in the field of utility porcelain. As early as 1896, the first competition to create a contemporary and inexpensive déjeuner in terms of shape and decor was announced, from which the crocus dejeuner , designed by Konrad Hentschel , emerged.
This was followed by the first attempt to develop a new crockery shape suitable for the modern sharp fire decorations , which was successfully produced under the name "T smooth" as early as 1901 as a collective effort by the manufactory's designers, headed by Hans Rudolph Hentschel . For at least a decade this model became the most important and most-produced service from Meissen, the famous and groundbreaking wing pattern , designed by Hans Rudolph Hentschel in 1901, was the first decor developed for this service.
“With its tense play of lines and surfaces, it [the wing pattern] just barely leaves open the possibility that organically grown forms could be meant. In its continued abstraction, however, it already indicates van de Velde's dynamic ornamental movements . "
As Hermann Jedding also comments on the color scheme: "Delicately contoured and fanned out in blue, restrained celadon green gives substance to the wings and marginal leaves."
