Meissen: Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures

Bowl 12.5 cm

Breakfast with a sea view, no forecast required

The MEISSEN Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures cereal bowl 12.5 cm is a small bowl with a surprising amount of atmosphere. On brilliant white hard porcelain, a cobalt blue maritime décor unfolds with shell-like forms and flowing underwater plants, recalling historic nature illustrations while feeling beautifully contemporary. With a diameter of 12.5 cm, a height of 6.5 cm and a weight of 0.275 kg, the bowl feels comfortable in the hand and is perfectly sized for cereal, yoghurt, desserts, small bowls, side dishes or nibbles for an aperitif. Handmade, dishwasher safe and microwave safe, it is ready for everyday use without losing even a hint of its manufactory elegance. The deep blue decoration feels calm, clear and alive at the same time. Almost as if someone had tamed a piece of the ocean and taught it excellent table manners.

Small, round and wonderfully versatile

The Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures collection by MEISSEN plays with motifs from the underwater world: shells, fish, lobsters, seahorses and delicate maritime plants appear in cobalt blue underglaze painting on fine porcelain. The clean, reduced shape of the Cosmopolitan series gives these motifs space without making the table feel busy. This cereal bowl is a particularly useful everyday piece. It accompanies breakfast, serves a creamy dessert after dinner or holds small side dishes on a beautifully set table. Its combination of white porcelain and blue décor pairs effortlessly with clear glassware, gold or silver-toned cutlery, linen napkins and other pieces from the Blue Treasures collection.

Craftsmanship that never needs to raise its voice

The State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen has stood for exceptional porcelain quality since 1710. The famous blue Crossed Swords are recognised worldwide as a mark of authenticity, origin and masterful craftsmanship. Each piece begins with the manufactory’s own kaolin, sourced near Meissen, which gives the porcelain its distinctive whiteness, hardness and luminosity. Combined with feldspar and quartz, it becomes a porcelain body refined over centuries. The décors are applied by hand by experienced painters. In underglaze painting, the cobalt blue permanently fuses with the porcelain during firing, creating the depth and brilliance that make Meissen Blue Treasures so distinctive.

A little piece of the sea for your table

The cereal bowl works beautifully as a single accent or as part of a larger table setting from the Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures collection. It pairs especially well with the dessert plate, dinner plate, mug and serving platters from the same series. Combined with plain white porcelain from the Cosmopolitan line, it creates a calm and elegant table setting with a subtle maritime character. For those who appreciate porcelain that is not only practical, but also tells a story. And for breakfasts, desserts and small everyday rituals that deserve a little more depth.
