The Wallendorf porcelain manufactory, established in 1764 in Lichte, Thuringia, Germany, is one of the oldest porcelain factories in Europe. It is renowned for its high-quality porcelain, often featuring intricate hand-painted designs and delicate forms. The factory has a long history of producing tableware, decorative items, and figurines, consistently maintaining a reputation for craftsmanship. This reticulated dish, produced by Wallendorf, exemplifies the classic German porcelain aesthetic. The pierced lattice work, often referred to as 'reticulated,' is a decorative technique that adds lightness and elegance to porcelain pieces. The 'Dresden Flowers' style refers to a popular floral motif characterized by vibrant, detailed depictions of various blossoms, a hallmark of German porcelain decoration.
