Comment

Translation:

Medals from the state porcelain factory Meissen Sims are sought-after collector's items. 

 

For centuries, the delicate reliefs of the small works of art made of pure white Meissen porcelain have been designed by well-known modelers.

 

In a tried and tested tradition, they represent the unity of noble material, artistic mastery and the sense of style of their time of creation
