Description

A late Rococo Meissen porcelain sugar bowl with cover, produced in 1774 at the beginning of the Marcolini period. The compact form and refined proportions are typical of Meissen table wares of this sophisticated era.

The bowl is decorated with Watteau-style fêtes galantes scenes, depicting elegant figures within pastoral garden landscapes, painted with lightness and restraint. The cover is surmounted by a rosebud finial (Rosenknospenknauf) and decorated en suite. The base bears the underglaze blue crossed swords mark.

FAQs

The Marcolini period, spanning from 1774 to 1814 under the directorship of Count Camillo Marcolini, is characterised by neoclassical influences, softer colour palettes, and the frequent use of the star symbol beneath the crossed swords mark.

Meissen pieces utilize a hard-paste porcelain recipe consisting of kaolin, quartz, and alabaster, fired at high temperatures and decorated with hand-painted overglaze enamels and gilded highlights.

Authentication involves examining the underglaze blue crossed swords mark for period-specific painting characteristics, inspecting the paste under ultraviolet light, and assessing the quality of the hand-painted details and surface wear.

This type of piece can be displayed as a focal point within a glass-fronted cabinet, on a traditional mantelpiece, or styled on a surface where its detailed craftsmanship can be closely appreciated.

Antique porcelain should be hand-washed gently in lukewarm water with a mild, non-abrasive detergent when necessary, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
