Originally titled "T Glatt", the "Flügelmusterservice" ("Wing Pattern Service") is today considered a true excellence of Art Nouveau tableware. After the World's Fair in 1901, the Meissen company launched an internal competition with the aim of revising the previous dinnerware and its designs, and to "remake the handles and grips" in keeping with the spirit of the times. Rudolf Hentschel's design of the wing pattern, with its light and elegant shapes, won him first place in 1903. The manufacture was so enthusiastic about his design that, in addition to paying a bonus to the employee, the service was the only one to be presented in an advertising brochure - "The Blue Swords". Hentschel also designed the remarkable decor, and this design, together with the "Arnica Service" designed a little later, gave the manufacture a significant economic boost.
