REQUEST INFORMATION
?Rare pair of hard paste porcelain cups from the Meissen factory.
Polylobed shape model with very fine polychrome decoration on a white background.
Our decor called “Holzschnittblumen” is inspired by botanical and entomological engravings; it includes scrolls of flowers (iris, roses, etc.) and numerous flying and crawling insects such as ladybugs, Colorado potato beetles, snails, beetles, ants, etc.
Blue mark with swords on the reverse of a cup.
Meissen factory around 1735-1740; the decor attributable to the painter Johann Gottfried Klinger active at the factory between 1726 and 1746.
The top border circled in silver in Germany around 1740.
The whole mounted on a bronze rococo base in Italy around 1750-1760.
Good state of conservation, a crack on one of the cups (at the level of the snail).
