    For several decades, Meissen was the unquestioned leader in European porcelain. “Up until about 1750, those are the collectible pieces,” says Reyes. “The greatest artists of the time were all in Dresden [15 miles downriver from Meissen], and then after that, the secret of porcelain was spread out, so the competition was quite big.” The Seven Years’ War was the final straw, and “Meissen was not able to recover” from it, Reyes says.

    The art collection of Palace Het Loo, the Rijksmuseum and three other museums are thought to include pieces and artifacts that were looted from a Jewish family during a Nazi plunder, the Telegraaf reports. In total, 15 pieces of a valuable Meissen porcelain dinnerware ware set may have been stolen from the Gutmann family. The items may have been put up for auction in 1934 under coercion from the Nazis.
