Are Dresden and Meissen the same?
1 Answer
No, Dresden and Meissen are not the same. Dresden Porcelain is often mistaken for Meissen because Dresden originally decorated Meissen pieces. Dresden began as porcelain decorators with a heavy emphasis on luxury design. Over time, the brand began producing its own porcelain items.
