The porcelain factories of Dresden are renowned for this type of decorative piece and this monumental vase would have been at least one of a pair or part of a three or five piece mantle garniture at some point in its history. Alone, it is stunning. It is hand painted, but the painting is minimal when compared to other earlier examples, especially from the Meissen factory. This covered urn
was created in Germany with colorful scenes during the early 20th Century.
The covered lid surmounted by a gilt metal foliate finial, the baluster body with two scrolled gilt metal handles painted with a detailed figural setting in a salon with two couples listening to musical instruments their companions play within gilt ecru encrusted borders. Beautiful.
This type of porcelain became collectible in the 1960s and reached the height of the market in the 1990s. Since then, fashions have changed greatly, but this is still a statement piece that endures in wonderful condition. and so prices have fallen quite dramatically especially in a traditional auction. However, this is still an impressive piece, signed indistinctly, on a circular socle atop a square raised plinth base. Marked with the underglaze blue Dresden mark under the cover and underneath the foot.
This could be a decorator's delight at 36 inches tall and 8 inches wide, and 8 inches deep at the base.
This is a heavy item which we will ship anywhere in the Continental United States via parcel post, double boxed. less
