Welcome back! Today, let's take a look at a breathtaking Meissen Centerpiece that we have in our showroom! This centerpiece is not only detailed, elegant and beautiful but it has a history behind it as well.
This Magnificent 19th Century Centerpiece is a great example of the finest quality hard paste produced by the most well known European Porcelain Factory of the past Three Centuries. The entire piece is hand-painted with c scroll highlights in gold and beautifully painted floral decoration. The oval reticulated bowl tops a sturdy center column with putti figures cascading around floral decoration in relief. The center column is on a solid square hand-painted base with c scroll feet. The two sections are separated at the base of the center column. Each section is separately marked with the Meissen Factory cross swords identification. Circa 1860-1870
Here are detailed shots of the piece:
Now, let's take a step back and look at the candlesticks that grace the sides of the piece.
