Leipziger Spring Fair 1985 At the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1985, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issued two multicolored special postage stamps. Special cancellation from 5 March to 4 May 1985 25-pfennig value jug with grapevine decor In 1985, the founding of the first European porcelain manufactory for the 275th time - the founding of the porcelain manufactory of Meissen. The Saxon Elector Friedrich August I (1670-1733) proclaimed his founding of the manufactory on January 23, 1710, and the first products of this "Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon Porcelain Manufactory" (the founder was King August II at the same time king of Poland) were presented to the eager fair 1710 in Leipzig to a curious and astonished audience. From then on, always represented as an exhibitor at the Leipzig Trade Fair, the VEB Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen in 1985 is not only the oldest existing porcelain manufactory in the world, but also the longest-standing exhibitor of the Leipzig trade fairs. For the Meissen porcelain, the fairs of Leipzig became a gateway into the world. The exemplary reputation of porcelain with the blue swords, trademarks of the Meissen porcelain manufactory, also spread from the Leipzig trading center to this day. From the vast abundance of Meissen porcelain ever made, some extraordinary ones stand out. Once upon a time, they were particularly appealing, making them the least popular in the world and becoming synonymous with Meissen porcelain. To these porcelains, today as in the earlier Meissen assortment, which characterize the principle of the Meissen porcelain design, the decoration "vine leaves" is definitely counted. This decoration is a creation of the post-1813 ceramic-technical progress. It is the first artistic utility of the underglaze color chrome oxide green used for it, invented by the later director of Meissen, Heinrich Gottlob Kühn (1783-1870), in 1817. The decor was designed by the Meissen porcelain painter Johann Samuel Arnhold (vmtl. 1766 - 1828) in the same year.
