Incredible 19th Century Meissen Porcelain Covered Urn Emblematic of Autumn

Description

An incredible and truly monumental 19th century Meissen Porcelain Covered urn emblematic of autumn. This is one of the most incredible and spectacular displays of Meissen Porcelain we have had the pleasure of having in our collection of over 50,000 individual items. The piece is so incredibly large, that it had to be manufactured in three separate pieces. In the Rococo taste, the monumental urn is intricately decorated in an abundance of multi-colored truly realistic porcelain flowers, vines and leaves, rocaille décor, and delightful cherubs and nymphs perfecting the Autumn aesthetic. Atop the urn is a gorgeous finial in the form of a beautiful maiden in a pink floral designed dress holding a bouquet of wheat, the quintessential autumn plant, with a wheat crown atop her head. Scattered throughout the urn are wheat plants, apples, pears, and other summer fruits and vegetables. An exuberant amount of expertise went into making this urn, which is demonstrated through the highly complex and truly outstanding quality of the piece. Pieces like this are extremely rare to find, and even more rare to find in this condition. Underneath are blue crossed swords mark and pressnumer. Germany, Circa: 1850
