Meissen: Cosmopolitan Swords

Vase 13.5 cm

Small, white, gold – and rather confident

The MEISSEN 13.5 cm Vase from the Cosmopolitan Swords collection is a small home accessory with a surprising amount of presence. It stands like a quiet comment on classic elegance: white hard porcelain, a clear shape, a gentle shine – and across it, a graphic gold décor that gives the famous MEISSEN Crossed Swords a contemporary twist. Almost as if tradition briefly picked up a pen and sketched something wonderfully modern. With a height of 13.5 cm, a diameter of 11.5 cm and a weight of 0.435 kg, this Meissen vase is ideal for single flowers, small seasonal bouquets, short branches or simply as a decorative object in its own right. Its compact size makes it perfect for a dining table, side table, windowsill, shelf or bedside table – wherever one small detail can suddenly make everything feel more considered.

Gold, but with good manners

The charm of the Cosmopolitan Swords collection lies in its balance of historical symbolism and modern graphic lightness. The iconic sword motif, long associated with the authenticity and quality of Meissen porcelain, appears here not as a formal emblem but as a free, rhythmic and almost calligraphic design. The golden lines move across the white porcelain surface, crossing, opening and creating a sense of energy. The result feels refined without being heavy, festive without belonging only to special occasions. This vase is allowed to live in everyday spaces, to shine quietly and to sit naturally among books, candles, bowls, mugs or glasses. Due to the precious gold décor, hand washing is recommended.

MEISSEN: porcelain with a luminous history

The State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen has stood for exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding porcelain quality and a living cultural heritage since 1710. The famous blue Crossed Swords are among Europe’s most recognisable trademarks and are known worldwide as a symbol of genuine Meissen porcelain. Its distinctive brilliance begins with the material itself: pure kaolin from the manufactory’s own mine, combined with feldspar and quartz, creates the clear, luminous white. To this day, Meissen porcelain is carefully handcrafted, shaped, glazed, decorated and fired in Germany. With the Cosmopolitan Swords vase, an additional layer of artistry comes into play: the precise application of the gold décor, giving the calm porcelain body its graphic, almost urban character.

A small accent with a strong sense of style

This white MEISSEN vase with gold décor pairs beautifully with further pieces from the Cosmopolitan Swords collection, as well as with Cosmopolitan White, Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures, selected bowls, cups, mugs or other vases from the manufactory. It looks especially elegant beside warm wood, linen, glass or gold-toned candleholders, adding a touch of shine without becoming loud. At LIVOSY, we choose pieces that create atmosphere and remain a pleasure over time. This vase brings exactly that: Meissen porcelain, craftsmanship, design, tradition and a small glimmer of royal feeling. Not too much. Just enough to make the table look quietly pleased with itself.
