Hutschenreuther Blue Onion Pattern Soup Plate 23 cm Flag

The traditional history of the onion pattern dates back to ancient China, the country of origin of porcelain. There you can already demonstrate floral motifs in underglaze painting on the finest white porcelain in the Mingzeit (1368 - 1644). The asymmetrical system of the different motifs that started from Japanese kakimon painting in Arita can also be rediscovered, for example, in the aster-bamboo bouquet of the onion pattern. European artists of the 18th century took up these motifs in the sign of China fashion and created independent decorations that have lost nothing of their fascination to this day. The famous onion pattern was created around the year 1739. This name was popularly born under the recognition of the true motifs in the onion pattern. In fact, there are no onions in this decor, but pomegranates, peaches, peonies and an asters bamboo bouquet. The white shape of the Meissner porcelain factory C. Teichert, which dates back to a design from 1728, was adopted in 1926 by Lorenz Hutschenreuther and introduced to the market as Maria Theresia. Also from C. Teichert comes "Blue Onion Pattern" which has been manufactured by Hutschenreuther since 1930. Even today, pure cobalt paint is still used, and still has a high proportion of handmade, i.e. painting on staffages, lid buttons, plate edges and cup bottoms. The fine design of the details is considered a distinguishing feature of the "Hutschenreuther Blue Onion Pattern". The decor meets the demands of a modern household and is of course dishwasher and microwave safe. This tradition has been continued to the present day, the baroque "blue onion pattern" is still the most successful and extensive series of the Hutschenreuther brand, and always finds its lovers for many table experiences around the day.
