Description

A fine mid 18th century Meissen porcelain figure of a boy or putto stood next to a large urn with a posy in his right hand. Crossed swords mark to the base and incised and impressed numbers, c.1760.

He measures 13.5cm (5 5/16") high and 9cm (3 1/2") wide by 6.5cm (2 9/16") deep.

In excellent condition with no damage bar some very minor losses to the stalks of the posy. No damage or restoration. The urn would have had a cover originally I believe and there is some clear wear to the gilt on the rim and more minor wear to the gilt on the scrolls around vase. Minimal handling wear to the enamels. There is a short firing line inside the base of the urn.

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated this Meissen Porcelain Putto Figure to the 18th Century.

FAQs

Meissen was the first European hard-paste porcelain manufacturer, established in Germany in the early 18th century, and set the standard for luxury ceramic art throughout the continent.

These pieces are crafted from hard-paste porcelain, painted by hand with high-fired enamel colours, and frequently accented with genuine gold gilding.

Authentic pieces typically feature underglaze blue crossed swords marks, though marks varied across periods, alongside characteristic crisp moulding and hand-painted detailing.

They are best displayed as focal points within secure glass cabinets, on mantels, or atop sideboards where their fine craftsmanship can be appreciated up close.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid using water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive cloths to protect the delicate enamel and gilding.
