At bossing, multi-part figurines and objects from Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg are given their final shape. Following the original patterns, the individual parts are joined together with the liquefied porcelain mass, and freely modeled trimmings such as leaves and blossoms, garlands or thorns, are attached by hand with a scalpel to hedges, trees, crucifixes or tureens. Finally, the embossers retouch the finest seams and work out plastic details such as hands, facial features and surfaces with modeling tools.
