Class Description
Few luxury objects have captured the imagination of collectors and connoisseurs like Meissen porcelain. Together with German historian Anette Isaacs, you will explore the dazzling world of Europe’s first hard-paste porcelain, celebrated for its elegance, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty. From the opulent courts of Saxony to the homes of collectors across Europe and beyond, Meissen porcelain became a symbol of wealth, taste, and artistic excellence.
All virtual classes are recorded and made available to participants registered in the class. These recordings are password-protected and available for up to two weeks after the class ends.
German born and raised Anette Isaacs is a historian and public educator who presents hundreds of programs on more than 50 different topics all over the United States. She currently serves as the Director of Lifelong Learning at FIU in Miami, FL.
