Worker paints porcelain in Meissen Manufactory

A worker immerses a porcelain vessel showing the blue crossed swords in the glaze bath in the Meissen Manufactory in Meissen, Germany, Monday, May 14, 2018. Since 1722 the blue crossed swords mark every piece of porcelain, which is produced in the manufactory of Meissen. In the 300 years and more since it was established by King Augustus the Strong in 1710, Europe's first porcelain manufactory has evolved into an international luxury and lifestyle brand. [Photo: AP]
