Breathtaking masterpiece of the 19th c. attributed to Meissen.
Opulent, richly gilded, beautifully made and
painted with extraordinary skill that only a Meissen piece can
have. For some reason, this piece was never glazed and the
Meissen crossed swords do not appear on the bottom where one
would expect to see them. However, the feet of the bowl are the
same as those seen on other Meissen pieces. The style of
painting, the exquisite form and delicacy of the two maidens are
too close to be by another maker. CONDITION: There are
several areas where professional repair is needed. The damselle
on the left is missing her left arm, the one on the right is
missing one hand, Both are missing their hats or head detail.
There has been a rough repair to one side center section, but its
mate on the other side is missing. Otherwise, the piece is in
remarkably condition, considering its age and fragility.
Please ask for more images which show both its beauty as well
as the areas of damage.
