Forget-me-not Gourd-form Porcelain Scent Bottle, Meissen Or Dresden, C.1850
£600 $819 €691
A highly decorative porcelain scent bottle in the shape of a gourd, finely modelled with applied forget-me-not flowers and hand-painted insects. The glaze shows soft craquelure typical of Meissen and Dresden production around 1850. Visual analysis using AI-supported tools indicates with high confidence (90%) an attribution to Meissen. A secondary possibility (10%) exists for a Dresden workshop such as Carl Thieme (Potschappel), Richard Klemm, or Donath. The base bears a hand-painted mark “SPF”, applied over a visibly erased original factory mark - most likely Meissen. This was a known 19th-century practice when items changed hands through dealers or were prepared for resale abroad. This scent bottle is highly collectib...le, combining technical finesse, period charm, and historical intrigue.
Condition:
Neck reattached with a visible exterior crack. Small chip to the stopper. Some flower losses. One area of the lower body shows enamel loss and chipping to the applied decoration, exposing the underlying ceramic. This is consistent with age and fragility of such fine applied work .Otherwise good antique condition.
Dimensions:
Height 18 cm
