The remarkable raised decoration featuring sculpted foliage, grapevine tendrils, and flowering branches from the early days of Meissen production is known as “Irmingersche Belege,” named after the goldsmith Johann Jacob Irminger (1635–1724). From 1710 to 1719, he developed the artistic design of Böttger stoneware as well as Böttger porcelain. The raised decoration of flowering branches is based on Japanese models. See Rückert, Cat.
