Fruit, Nuts and Flowers Saucer

This is a great saucer made by Meissen in about 1750. It is hand painted with a few nice small floral arrangements, nuts, plums, red currants, and some sort of yellow fruit and has lots of nice relief designs to the paste as shown. Gold trim to the saucer edge. The saucer is in great condition with a tiny chip to the very edge that was gilded over to hide a bit and some wear to mostly the gold trim along the edge. A spot on the purple plum has had the color flaked off and was colored in a bit to hide that. A nice piece that still displays superbly. The saucer is 1.125 inches tall and 5.375 inches in diameter. It is marked with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark underneath as well as a puce 15. and an impressed number as shown. There is also a little flower painted on the underside rim to hide a firing flaw. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $349
