Full of green wreaths
A classic chrome-green underglaze decoration of the Meissen porcelain is called full of a green wreath or, colloquially, vine leaves . It was designed by Johann Samuel Arnhold in Meißen in 1817 . The dense wreath of vine leaves with the decoratively grouped leaves is produced almost unchanged to this day. The three most important style elements are ascribed a high degree of symbolism: green as a symbol of life, wine for the power of the spirit and the wreath as a sign of admiration and durability. The characteristics of the decor made it possible to adapt it to the popular service forms of the 18th century, for example the New Cutout service form designed by Johann Joachim KÄNDER in 1745 .
