Wachs 2004" with date; certificate no. 628 from the Meissen porcelain manufactory and a copy of the correspondence with a brief description of the depiction by Wolfgang Wachs enclosed. Centre of gravity mark. 56 cm x 63 cm. With "1001 Nights", Prof. Heinz Werner developed one of the most important decors of Meissen Modernism, which Wachs takes as his model. Werner's oriental worlds refer to the beginnings of Meissen's painterly decorative design under J. G. Höroldt and his utopian chinoiseries. Often applied freely and without reserves in a loose style, Werner transfers the traditional decorative scheme into the 20th and 21st centuries. Cf. Meissen Manuscripts, Special Issue IV, Visions.
