EIDEX special production: Bavarian porcelain lion
EIDEX commissioned the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory to produce 2,000 handmade Bavarian lions as a high-quality and sustainable welcome gift.
The occasion was an incentive trip to Munich for 2,000 top sales employees of a large US insurance company. As the heraldic animal, the lion symbolizes Bavarian identity and tradition. The Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory, founded in 1747 by the Bavarian royal family and housed in historic premises near Nymphenburg Palace, is unique in the world and renowned for its finest porcelain work. All work steps are carried out exclusively by hand and the traditional techniques used are always passed down from generation to generation.
Over a period of more than 20 weeks, the individual parts of the 2,000 lions were cast, lovingly assembled, finished, fired several times and hand-painted. At the end, the lions were branded with our customer’s logo and given sturdy, high-quality gift packaging together with a booklet. EIDEX logistics made it possible for all guests traveling from the USA to have the gifts delivered to their hotel rooms. In addition, a short film was simultaneously available on demand for all those involved, illustrating the elaborate production process and underlining the high value of the gift – you can watch it here on YouTube.
