Product information "Mug Ming Dragon 0.25 l"
A dragon with your tea? Surprisingly civilised.
The Meissen Ming Dragon Mug 0.25 L brings a touch of myth to everyday life – without making too much noise about it. On brilliant white hard porcelain, a finely drawn dragon moves across the surface in shades of grey and black, accompanied by small orange flame ornaments that add warmth and energy to the design. The motif feels powerful yet refined: delicate, graphic and full of motion. With a capacity of 0.25 litres, the mug is ideal for tea, coffee or a quiet pause during the day. Measuring 9 cm in height, 8 cm in depth and 11 cm in width including the handle, it has a compact and balanced shape. The distinctive angular handle gives the Meissen mug a clear, contemporary silhouette. Crafted from high-quality hard porcelain, handmade in Germany and designed by the MEISSEN Atelier, it is a special piece from The MEISSEN Mug Collection. Due to its delicate decoration, it is not dishwasher-safe and not suitable for microwave use; hand washing is recommended – a small moment of care for a piece that rewards attention.
A small form with a strong presence
The Ming Dragon is one of those motifs that arrives with a story already woven into it. It evokes East Asian visual traditions, historic porcelain art and Europe’s long fascination with “white gold”. At the same time, the mug feels distinctly modern: generous white space, clear lines, a restrained colour palette and a design that almost resembles fine ink drawing. This makes it equally at home with classic table culture, contemporary interiors, minimalist breakfast settings or a carefully curated home office. Whether chosen as a gift for porcelain lovers, a collector’s piece or a daily favourite, it brings character to the table without ever feeling overstated.
Meissen craftsmanship with centuries behind it
The State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen has stood for exceptional porcelain quality and extraordinary craftsmanship since 1710. From the kaolin sourced from the manufactory’s own mine to the refinement in the workshops in Meissen’s Triebisch valley, every piece is created with great care, experience and a deep understanding of material, form and colour. The famous Crossed Swords have symbolised the authenticity and quality of Meissen porcelain since 1722. What makes MEISSEN so compelling is the connection between rich heritage and a contemporary eye: historic forms, decorations and techniques are not only preserved, but continually reinterpreted. This is exactly what gives The MEISSEN Mug Collection its appeal – it brings great porcelain tradition into everyday life.
For tables with character and rituals worth keeping
The Meissen Ming Dragon Mug pairs beautifully with other designs from The MEISSEN Mug Collection. Combined with floral motifs, graphic patterns or the Kingfisher mug, it creates a personal collection that feels curated rather than overly matched. It also forms a striking contrast with plain white porcelain, dark linen, gold-toned cutlery or clear glass vases. At LIVOSY, it belongs wherever special objects refine everyday life without overwhelming it. A mug for those who do not simply drink tea or coffee, but enjoy having something beautiful to look at while doing so.
