There are 20,000 different colour formulas in the manufactory’s colour lab. Each and every formula is treasured like a gem, so that it can be passed on to future generations. Thus even after more than 250 years, Franz Anton Bustelli’s “Singing Chinese Boy with Song Sheet”, incidentally one of the most popular Chinoiserie figurines, can once again have his clothes painted in the original combination of canary yellow and salmon pink.
