「A Journey Through Time: Step into the Palace of European Porcelain Art」

Taiwan's First Museum Dedicated to 19th‑century European Royal Porcelain

In southern Taiwan, there is a tranquil space that houses a vast collection of 19th‑century European royal porcelain from over a hundred years ago. 400 years ago, Taiwan was an island for transshipping porcelain; 400 years later, we once again encounter the world's most exquisite porcelain art on this land. Each exhibit is a letter from the past, quietly waiting for you to read.

The museum's collection features 19th‑century European royal porcelain — from Germany's Meissen, which set the stage, to the delicate brushwork of Berlin KPM, the unparalleled beauty of French Sèvres, the rustic charm of England's Royal Worcester, and the resplendent gold of Austria's Royal Vienna. Each artistic style blossoms in full glory, pursuing a richness and layering of beauty. Porcelain was once hailed as "white gold" and a symbol of royal power. Since Meissen produced the first hard‑paste porcelain in the 18th century, ushering in the age of porcelain, Europe's finest porcelain art has been held in high esteem for centuries. The museum invites you to join a feast of beauty and step into the artistic halls of 19th‑century European royalty.

Introduction to European Royal Porcelain Manufacturers:

Meissen Porcelain: Meissen porcelain boasts the longest history and explores the deepest and broadest themes. As the founding brand of European porcelain, it offers not only craftsmanship but also a vast insight into world culture.

KPM: The KPM porcelain plaque paintings, resembling real paintings, offer a meticulous texture with attention to every detail. The complex porcelain‑making process preserves superb painting techniques in porcelain form for eternity.

Sèvres: France's fashionable flair stands out with a bold and refined aesthetic, as if one can hear the joyful laughter of nobles in the salons of the time.

Royal Worcester: Breaking away from traditional portrait painting, it extensively depicts fruits, flowers, animals, castles, and estates, reflecting the rise of still life and landscape painting.

Royal Vienna: Elevating the art of decoration to its peak, the dazzling floral motifs, gold trims, famous figures, and mythological stories captivate visitors, making them linger and never want to leave.
