Spittoon w/ Rare Rinsing Cup

This is a very hard to find piece of blue onion - a spittoon including a rare rinsing cup made by Meissen in the 20th century. Both are decorated with their famous Zwiebelmuster design in under glaze blue and have nice shape to them. The spittoon has the larger top bowl with the central opening going into the smaller bottom bowl part like a funnel. The top inside part has the typical blue onion design to it with the crossed swords mark to the stalk and the outside has some nice designs to it as well. The cup has a bottom made to fit into the opening of the spittoon and is decorated all around with the blue onion design and also has the crossed swords in the stalk part. The combo I ahve never come across and it's really nice! Both are marked underneath with the under glaze blue crossed swords as well as the usual other blue marks and impressed numbers, etc. as shown. The spitton is 2.75 inches tall with a top diameter of just under 6 inches. The beaker / cup is 3.25 inches tall with a top diameter of 3.25 inches. Both are in perfect condition. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $699
