Contemporary Classic from Meissen
The development of this classic dinner, tea and coffee service from Meissen, called the Wave Service, took more than three years.
Their designer, Sabina Wachs, used the ever-changing patterns of the waves as her inspiration. Waves in nature are unique, like the Meissen porcelain Waves.
