About the Item

Centerpiece. Glazed porcelain. Meissen, Germany, possibly second half of the 19th century. With marks and numbers on bases. Maybe small faults. Enameled porcelain centerpiece topped with a male figure dressed in 18th century European fashion. It features three saucers with openwork edges (the smaller one at the top) arranged on a centerpiece decorated with simple geometric elements and spiraling plant motifs. Incised marks and numbers can be seen on the bases of the saucers and the centerpiece. The blue and white decoration with these particular plant elements is a type known as "blue onion," very characteristic of Meissen porcelain, and inspired by works from China that also frequently used these colors as early as the 17th century. Although onions were not depicted, the stylized elements (peaches, melons, bamboo, etc.) reminded Europeans of this vegetable, hence the name. At the base of the centerpiece, you can see the Meissen mark used between 1815 and 1924. The base of the "larger plate" features engraved numbers and another in blue ink; the next plate shows the mark of the two crossed swords and more engraved numbers; at the base of the smaller plate, the number 17 can be seen in blue ink. · Size: 28x28x57 cm Very fragile piece, packaging may vary. International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
