The exclusive special edition
“Johann Friedrich B�ttger” from the series of Saxon personalities is
refined with a small key made of Meissen porcelain. Johann Friedrich B�ttger
was a German alchemist and chemist. Around 1708 he is considered the inventor
of European hard porcelain, transferred this invention to the production
process and was the founding administrator of the Meissen porcelain factory. On
this occasion we have created a limited edition of 350 pieces. Limited to 350
pieces worldwide – only 150 available in the US. Special feature: There is a
key made of Meissen porcelain on B�ttger’s tray. The “Key Welcome” is
one of the earliest “Key Experiences” of the Meissen manufactory.
August the Strong is said to have drunk from the legendary porcelain key during
a visit to Albrechtsburg in Mei�en – according to the entry in the guest book
from 1714.
