The creator of the '1001 Nights' decoration, Heinz Werner, was a member of an artists' collective that was responsible for designing new figures, wall panel paintings and vessels in Meissen from 1960 onwards. One of the main tasks of this new department was the development of coffee and table services. The aim was to build on Meissen's long tradition and use innovative means to create creative highlights of European tableware culture.
The decoration of 1001 Nights on the 'Large Detail' service designed by Ludwig Zepner is an ideal example of this approach.
