Sword mark, year mark 1965, 1st choice, decor no. 1332b./610310 , shape no. 6358/21023. shape design: 1967 by Erhard Großer (1902-?), Alexander Struck (1902-1990), Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010); decor design: Heinz Werner (1928-2019).

Sharp fire paint, enamel paint and polished gold.

An icon of porcelain design created the young Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010) with the "Service with grid relief". In a clever and sensitive way, he takes up traditions of form design by letting the reliefs bind the vessel in surfaces that tend to the outside - lids and flags. The vessels look majestic and at the same time modest and elegant thanks to the curved handles and the flattened knob of the lids. The original colored decoration for the "lattice relief" service is the purple rose with blue leaves by Heinz Werner (1928-2019) - a reverence to the great tradition of Meissen rose painting. Both the very highest technical knowledge and first-class artistic aptitude are required here in the handling of underglaze painting, sharp fire paint and enamel paint. In their combination, rose and leaves appear in a unique depth and brilliance, which can be seen so rarely. It can be called a masterstroke that such beautiful and high-quality porcelain was produced from the old kilns of the 1960s. The manufactory was awarded a gold medal for this service at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1965. Even more, it remains a milestone of modern Meissen porcelain and a feast for the eyes of connoisseurs of exquisite porcelain. (cf. Meissen Contours 1960-1990, p. 68, p. 237f).
