Let your wishes come true!

FIRST ADVENT

With the first snowflakes, wishes swirl through the front door: a note with glittering stars and a mythical creature that is supposed to represent a pony. Adults are content with a white Christmas, world peace, the collected works of Kant, or even ‘oh, nothing.’ We ourselves may wish for someone who is no longer there. Some longings remain unfulfilled, other dreams come true, because Advent is also a time of big and small miracles. Let yourself be enchanted on this premiere Sunday.

NEW COLLECTION
While elves and fairies at the North Pole only get busy in December, the workshops at the porcelain manufactory work all year round to make wishes come true. Muscle power in the mass mill, red cheeks in the kiln, delicate brushstrokes in the painting room and dexterity in the modelling room – hard-working craftsmen are at work everywhere. The result: unique pieces that embody perfection, attention to detail and a long tradition. Every gift in the collection is a little journey through several centuries of porcelain history, from the Rococo to tomorrow. We have created a collection for the Advent season that makes it easier to find the right gift. There are even some small ideas for St. Nicholas' boots.

OLD TRADITION
Once the freshly polished St. Nicholas boots have been plundered and the apples, nuts and almonds polished off, why not use the boots to trudge over to Nymphenburg Palace next Saturday? Here, in a festive atmosphere, the flagship store of the porcelain manufacturer will be transformed into an elf workshop. On this second weekend of Advent, porcelain painter Eileen Laubinger will decorate plates, bowls and mugs with monograms or names free of charge – a very personal gift that makes dreams of something distinctive and unique come true and will be fired in the manufactory by Christmas. We cordially invite you to spend a magical St. Nicholas Day with us again this year, surrounded by porcelain, pigments and the joy of cookies, where you may be able to cross a few items off your wish list.

OTHER PERSPECTIVES

Advent is full of rituals, stories, and family traditions. Some let themselves be enchanted by the Nutcracker every year, others listen to the Christmas Oratorio. Family recipes for cookies? They’re traded like insider tips on the stock market. And almost everyone looks forward to a particular Christmas movie and sheds bitter tears at the hundredth rewatch of “Little Lord Fauntleroy.”

While we won’t reveal the secret of the saffron–almond cookies until our next newsletter, we’re already sharing our personal film highlight: “Birds in an Open Cage” shows the journey a bird takes through the porcelain manufactory. Two minutes full of poetry and feather-light moments. Enjoy this glimpse behind the scenes of these wonderfully elf-like workshops. Lights, camera, action!
