Quick answer

If you prefer dynamic hunting scenes and a taller silhouette, choose the Deckelvase Jagdszene. If intricate chinoiserie and a more compact form appeal to you, the Vase Chinoserien is the better fit.

Why compare these two vases?

Both vases belong to the Exklusiv-Kollektion, Meissen's highest tier of hand-painted porcelain. Each represents a distinct artistic tradition: the hunting scene after Ridinger captures 18th-century German sporting life, while the chinoiserie after Höroldt reflects the European fascination with East Asian motifs. The choice between them is largely about subject matter and scale.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Subject matter: The Deckelvase Jagdszene features a hunting scene after Ridinger, with dynamic animal and human figures. The Vase Chinoserien presents chinoiserie motifs after Höroldt, with stylized Asian-inspired landscapes and figures. Choose based on which narrative style you want to display.
  • Scale and presence: At 53 cm, the Deckelvase is significantly taller and more imposing. The Vase Chinoserien at 41 cm is more versatile for varied display settings. Measure your intended display area before deciding.
  • Artistic lineage: Both are based on historic Meissen designs, but the hunting scene is rooted in German courtly tradition, while the chinoiserie reflects the global influences that shaped 18th-century European porcelain. Consider which artistic story resonates more with your collection.
