Meissen: Cosmopolitan Swords

Vase 21 cm

A little gold never hurt a table

The MEISSEN 21 cm Vase from the Cosmopolitan Swords collection is the kind of home accessory that does not need to be loud to be noticed. It combines clear white hard porcelain with a graphic gold décor that reinterprets the famous Crossed Swords of the Meissen porcelain manufactory in a modern, almost calligraphic way. With a height of 21 cm, a diameter of 17.5 cm and a weight of 1.44 kg, this Meissen vase has a beautifully balanced presence: large enough for expressive floral arrangements, yet compact enough for a sideboard, dining table, console or windowsill. Its soft, slightly tapered shape lets bouquets fall naturally, while the gold décor moves across the porcelain like small traces of light. A piece that does not steal the stage from flowers – but certainly improves the lighting.

Tradition, graphically rearranged

The Cosmopolitan Swords collection plays with one of the most recognisable symbols in European porcelain culture: the Meissen swords. Instead of appearing as a traditional mark, they are placed freely, dynamically and decoratively across the surface. This creates an elegant tension between historical heritage and contemporary design. The gold feels refined without being heavy, festive without being reserved for special occasions only. This vase belongs in everyday life too, filled with orange celosia, white tulips, green branches or a cheerful mix of whatever happens to be in season. Due to the precious gold décor, gentle hand cleaning is recommended.

MEISSEN: craftsmanship with brilliance

Since 1710, the State Porcelain Manufactory Meissen has stood for exceptional porcelain quality, tradition and masterful production. The distinctive luminosity of Meissen porcelain begins with pure kaolin from the manufactory’s own mine, combined with feldspar and quartz. To this day, each piece is carefully handcrafted in Meissen, from shaping and glazing to firing. The décor also requires precision and experience, as gold on porcelain depends on exact placement, delicate application and a sensitive dialogue with the form. The result is a vase that is not merely decorative, but carries the unmistakable signature of a manufactory.

For flowers, book stacks and small golden moments

This white MEISSEN vase with gold décor pairs beautifully with further pieces from the Cosmopolitan Swords collection. It also sits elegantly beside Cosmopolitan White, Cosmopolitan Blue Treasures, Vitruv Graphic Biscuit, mugs, bowls or selected candleholders from the manufactory. On warm wood it feels especially inviting; next to glass and linen it appears lighter and more contemporary. At LIVOSY, we choose pieces that do more than fill a room – they create atmosphere. This vase brings exactly that: porcelain, craftsmanship, design, tradition and a golden accent that remains, even after the flowers have changed.
