Meissen is the oldest European porcelain manufacturer, established in 1710 in Meissen, Saxony under Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger, working from earlier experiments by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus, produced the first European hard-paste porcelain at Albrechtsburg castle. Meissen introduced its crossed swords mark in 1722, one of the earliest trademarks in continuous use. Its hand-painted figurines, tableware, and decorative objects are still produced in Meissen by master painters and modelers trained through multi-year apprenticeships. Supreme's collaboration placed streetwear iconography on pieces from a 300-year-old state-founded manufactory.
