Studio doors specify exact genres like ''Flower Painting from India'' or ''Figures and Landscapes.'' Meissen employs more than 450 full-time painters, 10 times more than the combined number of artists employed in Europe's other seven remaining porcelain manufacturers that still use hand craftsmen, according to Meissen's figures.
