How spectacular it must have been in 1765 as the first flower-decorated made-in-Nymphenburg showpiece vases were presented to Elector Maximilian III Joseph in the dining hall of the Munich Residenz. A cascade of hand-shaped leaves pouring down the five rounded bodies like a garland. Each individual flower was a work of art in its own right. In 2009, its beauty was recalled to mind as individual blossoms were selected for reproduction and presented as a limited collection of table flowers. Included is this handmade chrysanthemum, which is being sold as part of a limited edition of 25 pieces in a beautiful, black wooden case.
