Meissen: Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures

Dinner Plate Shell 30 cm

Shells that do not need to whisper loudly

The MEISSEN Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures shell dinner plate 30 cm brings the quiet beauty of the sea to the table – without a single grain of sand involved. On brilliant white hard porcelain, two artfully hand-painted shells appear in deep cobalt blue, accompanied by delicate flowing plant motifs. The decoration feels detailed yet light, almost like a historic nature study that has found its place in the present. With a diameter of 30 cm, a height of 3.2 cm and a weight of 0.95 kg, the dinner plate offers generous space for main courses, fish, pasta, vegetables, summer salads or festive menus. The motif is deliberately placed on the rim, leaving the centre free for the food, the composition and that small moment when a table suddenly feels perfectly considered.

A plate like a quiet sea breeze

The Meissen Blue Treasures collection interprets maritime motifs such as shells, fish, lobsters and seahorses in fine cobalt blue underglaze painting. The clean shape of the Cosmopolitan series gives the decoration space without ever feeling loud. The shell dinner plate shows just how elegant sea-inspired motifs can be when they do not simply decorate, but tell a story. It pairs beautifully with clear glassware, light linen, silver or brushed gold cutlery and natural accents such as shells, driftwood or greenery. At the same time, it is dishwasher safe and microwave safe – a piece of manufactory porcelain made to be admired and used.

Meissen craftsmanship with depth

The State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen has stood for exceptional porcelain quality and masterful handcraftsmanship since 1710. Each piece begins with pure kaolin from the manufactory’s own mine near Meissen, combined with feldspar and quartz to create the porcelain body known for its whiteness, hardness and luminous clarity. The famous blue Crossed Swords have represented authenticity, origin and quality since 1722. In the Blue Treasures décor, the cobalt blue fuses permanently with the porcelain during firing, creating the remarkable depth that makes this underglaze painting so distinctive.

For tables that collect stories

The shell dinner plate can be used as a single accent or combined with other pieces from the Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures collection to create an expressive table service. It looks especially beautiful with the lobster dinner plate, seahorse dessert plate, cereal bowl, mug or matching serving platters from the series. Combined with plain white porcelain from the Cosmopolitan line, it creates a calm and refined table setting. For those looking for porcelain that works every day, yet feels like a special occasion. And for everyone who knows: a good table does not need much. Only pieces worth keeping.
