A timeless symbol of Meissen's artistic legacy, the Snowball Vase with Birds is a faithful recreation of Johann Joachim Kaendler’s 1741 original. Covered in over 4,000 delicate, hand-formed Snowball Blossoms, each individually painted, this sculptural vase is a triumph of craftsmanship and ornamental beauty.
Two birds—an inquisitive green parrot and a native hoopoe—perch among the porcelain blossoms and hand-sculpted vines, capturing a moment of nature frozen in porcelain. Originally created as a royal gift, this extraordinary piece remains one of the most iconic works in European decorative art.
