Nymphenburg

Bavarian porcelain factory in Munich, known for Franz Anton Bustelli’s Rococo figures of the 1750s and 60s.

The porcelain factory was founded in Munich and moved to the park of Nymphenburg Palace in 1761. It made figurines, tableware and decorations for the court.

Franz Anton Bustelli's figurines from the commedia dell’arte are reckoned among the finest of the Rococo. The manufactory has continued with the same forms and has worked with contemporary artists and designers.
