About the original
The Supreme x Wu-Tang x Meissen Tray is a square porcelain trinket tray made in Germany, finished in white with a hand-applied gold-leaf rim, a printed RZA portrait in the well, a gold-leaf Wu-Tang W, and a Supreme wordmark along the bottom edge. Meissen has produced hand-decorated porcelain in Saxony since 1710, when Augustus the Strong chartered the first European porcelain manufactory at the Albrechtsburg after Johann Friedrich Bottger cracked the hard-paste formula. Its crossed-swords mark, introduced in 1720, is among the oldest continuously used trademarks, and appears on the underside of this FW25 release.
About Meissen
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.
