Meissen: Hand axe series

Vase 16 cm

Where porcelain begins to feel alive

Some objects reveal their beauty immediately. Others invite a second look. The 16 cm MEISSEN Vase from the Faustkeil Series belongs to the latter. Designed by Maria Walther, its sculptural relief surface recalls weathered stone, flowing landscapes and naturally formed textures. The result is a decorative object that feels both ancient and contemporary, combining organic movement with remarkable precision. Standing 16 cm high and crafted from brilliant white Meissen hard porcelain, the vase beautifully displays single flowers, delicate branches or minimalist arrangements while remaining a sculptural artwork in its own right.

A surface shaped by light

The Faustkeil Series celebrates texture as an essential design element. Rather than relying on decoration, the collection creates visual depth through finely modelled reliefs that constantly change with shifting light and perspective. Every angle reveals new details, giving the vase a quiet yet unmistakable presence.

The luminous white porcelain enhances every contour and shadow, emphasising the remarkable craftsmanship behind each piece. Its understated elegance allows it to complement contemporary, minimalist and classic interiors alike while pairing beautifully with wood, natural stone and glass.

Centuries of craftsmanship, reimagined

Since 1710, the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory has represented exceptional craftsmanship and uncompromising quality. Every piece is handcrafted in Germany using pure kaolin sourced from the manufactory's own mine before being shaped, glazed and fired according to centuries-old traditions.

The Faustkeil Series requires particularly demanding craftsmanship. The highly detailed relief surface must be carefully modelled before every contour is preserved throughout the complex firing and glazing process. This combination of artistic design and traditional porcelain expertise creates objects that feel both contemporary and timeless.

The famous Crossed Swords, Europe's oldest registered trademark, remain a symbol of authenticity, precision and outstanding craftsmanship, making every vase a genuine piece of Meissen heritage.

Quiet character for modern living

The MEISSEN Faustkeil Series Vase 16 cm combines beautifully with other pieces from the collection as well as contemporary MEISSEN ranges such as Cosmopolitan White or Vitruv Graphic Biscuit. Whether displayed with flowers or on its own, it brings sculptural elegance and lasting character to any interior.

At LIVOSY, we value objects that quietly become part of everyday life. This handcrafted porcelain vase reflects that philosophy perfectly—thoughtfully designed, beautifully made and created to remain relevant for generations.
