while the exterior remains silky and matte

Konstantin Grcic has gone to the limits of what is possible with porcelain as a material: a paper-thin letter opener made of porcelain

Octavio | Commedia dell Arte Couture Edition | Maurizio Galante Totenkopf while the exterior remains silkyThe employment of Franz Anton Bustelli in November 1754 turned out to be a tremendous stroke of luck for the manufactory. The artistic highlight of his body of work are, without a doubt, his sixteen characters from the Commedia dell'Arte. With these creations he depicts tense and humorous relationships. Each of these figures not only shows the role they play through their posture, but also make corresponding statements with their gestures.
