Located on Unter den Linden Street, Meissener Porzellan is famed for selling the finest porcelain in Europe. The store offers some of the most exclusive porcelain plates, sculptures and chandeliers on the Continent.

The Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur or Royal Porcelain Factory has manufactured high quality ceramic crockery for over 200 years. Today visitors can view the different aspects of porcelain manufacture in the factory that have not changed for over a century.
Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur was established by Frederick II of Prussia in 1763. He gave the company its name and the logo with a cobalt blue scepter that is stamped on each dish and ornamental piece even today. It remained royal property until the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The factory became state property after the fall of the monarchy and continued under state control until the unification of Germany. Today, it is a private company owned by Berlin banker, Jorg Woltmann.
The Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur makes unique hand painted dinner sets and other crockery and figurines corresponding to contemporary tastes. It has become a luxury brand in recent times. From 2007, visitors are taken on conducted tours around the factory to learn the history of porcelain manufacture in Berlin. The early ovens that date back to 1871 are on display. The exhibition workshop shows the different facets of porcelain manufacture. The factory today, has a café where customers are served delicacies in crockery manufactured in the factory. There is also a gift shop where crockery and porcelain figures are available.

Bleibtreu-Antik shop was established in the early 1970s. It offers an awe-inspiring selection of the original 19th-century antiques. The store focuses on glassware, jewelery, lamps and unique pieces of furniture from 1900 to 1960.

Fingers is quite an unusual antique shop. Besides old-fashioned furniture, this store offers cigarette lighters in the shape of lipsticks, peculiar lighting, and weird glassware. All the items date back to the 1940s.

The peaceful and somewhat "antiquated" atmosphere of this shop will definitely appeal to those who come browsing or buying old things. At Udo Oberacker's you can find all sorts of antique furniture dating back to the early twentieth century, when the term "meubles" ("furniture") was still widely in use. All of Oberacker's pieces—the splendid roll-fronted cupboards, various wooden desks and classic cabinets—are skillfully restored to a condition enabling them to withstand the weight of today's hi-tech appliances.

Operation Hours:
Monday - Friday From 03:00 pm - 06:30 pm
Saturday From 11:00 am - 03:00 am.
