The Product
It takes Nymphenburg artists at least a decade of intense training to achieve the level of skill required to make a piece like this life-sized Finch, one in a series of woodland birds sculpted by the porcelain house. Perched on a leafy branch, he looks about ready to take flight. Detailed talons, feathers and beaks give each bird in this series its own personality and bring the unfinished porcelain to life.

The Manufacturer
Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg’s designs, techniques, and commitment manage to impress an increasingly cynical and technologically driven populous one tea cup at a time.

Located outside of Munich and operating from within the grounds of the Nymphenburg Palace, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg has continually operated since it was established by the Bavarian Royal family in 1747. Harnessing the power from the canal, the manufactory has been operating from nothing but water power for over 250 years.

Artists of extraordinary talent, many Nymphenburg employees come from families that have been working on the palace grounds for generations. Each step of production is hands on, whether modeling, painting or polishing. The level of skill required to execute some designs goes beyond a typical apprenticeship: some pieces from the collection require artists to have upwards of 15 years experience before they attempt it.

With its storied history, veteran craftsmen, and reputation for unerring quality and vision, Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg continues its legacy as one of the most venerable porcelain manufacturer in the world.
