This artist was mentioned in conjunction with Camrath by Count
Louis de Boisgelin, who visited the factory thirteen years after
it had been founded. M. Meyer "is much esteemed for the beauty of
his designs." It appears that both he and Camrath were not actually
in the factory service on a fixed salary, but received payment for
each piece executed.

Apart from the royal busts and statuettes, the sumptuous vases with
portraits of royalties, and the magnificent services made for royal use
or for some important personage, culminating in the great and extensive
_Flora Danica_ service, there were other examples, notably figure
subjects and groups, often of a minor character, and vases and services
of less splendour in their decoration but not of inferior character.
