Porcelain Cobalt Small Vases, Meissen, 1930s

1920 - 1940
Description

Two small hand-painted cobalt-colored porcelain vases with floral vignettes, created by the Meissen manufactory in the 1930s. The vases rest on four shaped legs formed as animal paws, set on a round pedestal. Each vase has a round, crater-shaped form with a relief pattern around the upper part, encircled in gold. The body of the vases is decorated with a "Meissen bouquet," a floral motif on a white background, elegantly framed in gold. The surface is painted in a continuous cobalt blue. On the bottom, they bear the crossed swords mark, along with the impressed numbers "427" and “8” with an inverted Y, and another set with “427” and “37” with an inverted Y.

The Meissen Porcelain Manufactory, founded in 1710 in Germany by King Augustus the Strong, was the first European factory to successfully produce hard-paste porcelain, previously only made in China. Known for its innovation and exceptional craftsmanship, Meissen set the standard for European porcelain with its high-quality tableware, intricate figurines, and artistic decorations. Meissen’s famous crossed swords mark, introduced in the 1720s, became a symbol of quality. The manufactory pioneered new glazing techniques, unique color palettes, and elaborate patterns, influencing porcelain art across Europe and solidifying Meissen’s status as a leader in luxury ceramics.

Dimensions: height 8.7 cm, top diameter 7.4 cm, bottom diameter 7 cm, total weight 350 grams.

Meissen porcelain, established in Saxony in 1710, was the first European hard-paste porcelain manufactory. Cobalt blue glaze combined with hand-painted floral cartouches and gilt accents became a signature style developed during the 18th century and maintained across 20th-century production.

These vessels are constructed from kaolin-rich hard-paste porcelain, high-fired with a deep cobalt glaze. Decorative details are applied using hand-painted enamel botanical scenes within unfired reserves, finished with burnished gold leaf trim.

Authentic Meissen pieces feature the hand-painted underglaze blue crossed swords mark on the base. Collectors also inspect impressed mould numbers, painter identification marks, precise brushwork in the floral reserves, and the crispness of the porcelain moulding.

Display small porcelain vases symmetrically on a mantelpiece, console, or within a glazed cabinet. The cobalt blue ground and gilt details complement dark timber surfaces, marble tops, and contemporary brass fixtures.

Clean gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush to remove dust. Avoid chemical solvents, abrasive pads, or immersion in hot water, as these can wear down overglaze gilding and delicate enamel painting.
