A stunning and rare 18th-century Germany Meissen porcelain soup tureen, exquisitely hand-painted in the Rococo style. The lid is topped with a beautifully modeled cherub holding a garland of flowers and fruit, surrounded by delicate floral detailing and romantic pastoral scenes. A true example of Meissen’s masterful craftsmanship and elegance. Asking $699.
L14.56” x D8.66” x H11.42”
Condition notes:
- A small black firing flaw is present on the front of the lid — this occurred during the original 18th-century kiln process.
- A fine firing crack is visible at the back of the lid, also original to its production.
- The cherub finial has an old, stable restoration.
A gorgeous and character-rich collector’s piece that reflects the authenticity and charm of early Meissen porcelain.
