This is the type of decoration is called “Zwiebelmuster” – “Onion pattern” and usually associated with Meissen porcelain. First produced under the guidance of Meissen director Johann Höroldt in 1732, the so-called “blue onion” pattern was actually an adaptation of an early oriental “tree of life” motif. In Germany, the pattern – or any of its many variations – is known as Zwiebelmuster, or “onion pattern”. Sometimes it is also called “Indisch Blau” or Indian blue, sometimes “Strohblumenmuster” or Strawflower pattern. Sometimes this pattern was called Rauenstein after a town in Thuringia where several porcelain factories were making wares with this pattern.
