History

Cassel porcelain, porcelain produced by a factory at Kassel, Hesse, under the patronage of the Landgrave of Hesse. The factory fired hard-paste porcelain in 1766, though complete tea or coffee services were not produced until 1769. Most surviving examples are painted in underglaze blue. The factory is particularly noted for modelled classical groups, animal groups, the seasons, and similar figure work. It closed in 1788.
