Description

PAIR of Exceptional Quality Rare and Important Antique Meissen Hand Painted Porcelain Potpourri  Urns/ Vases with Pierced Bocage Lids

Circa 1763-1774

Please note exquisite double-sided urns with “Watteau-esque”pastoral scene on one side and floral bouquet on other side.

*A/F- Some damage noted to 2 handles on one urn and chips to bocage*

16″ H x 7 1/2″ W x 5 3/4” D

Note the exceptional “bocage” work on the floral clusters atop each lid.  The painted pastoral landscapes on the obverse and the floral bouqets in verso are exquisitely hand painted as are all of the decorations.

 Please note that we have many more images of details on request.

The mark on the base of each vase/urn is the 18th century mark from the “Dot” or “Academic” period of the Meissen factory, Circa 1763-1774 when a blue dot was painted between the hilts of the “swords” mark. The famous “crossed swords” mark (taken from the Arms of Saxony) was introduced in 1722 and has been the standard mark of the factory up to the present day.

The damage shown to one handle on one urn and the chip to the lip have been seriously taken into consideration and is reflective in the price.
