The "Blue Onion" (blue onion pattern) was completed in 1739 by Kretschmer, utilizing the underglaze blue painting technique of Chinese imitation. The generally accepted explanation for this name is that the pomegranate in the design was mistaken for an onion. The unfamiliar fruit was transformed into the familiar onion, and the bamboo, a symbol of immortality, was arranged in a balanced manner. Along with the mystery of the numbers combined, auspicious "symbols" from China are also depicted within the design itself. #Meissen #Teacup #CoffeeCup #Cup&Saucer #Pottery
