The Zwiebelmuster or "Blue Onion" pattern was first produced in the 1730's by the Meissen Porcelain factory in Germany. Inspired by East Asian examples it features stylized pomegranates, peaches, and other fruit - often mistaken as "onions". Since 1844 the Kahla Germany porcelain factory has produced their own unique version of "Zeibelmuster". Even during the cold war when it was part of communist East Germany.
