The price of all these?

If you click on the photos and look closely, you will be amazed.

After this visit Villeroy & Boch seems really affordable.

Meissen is worth a visit not just for its porcelain factory, but also for its historical center full of charm.

And it's just about 30 minutes drive from Dresden.
