Gazebo for Figurine

This is something a bit different - a blanc de chine gazebo or arbor made by Meissen around 1750. This would have been used to display a figurine in it and would look amazing with an early polychrome figure. There is room to display a nice size piece about 7.5 inches tall. The arbor is nicely modeled with a lattice type design to the back with lots of scrolls to the center and sides which have floral vines along them. The top has a crown to it and the base has a step to it. The piece is in remarkable condition considering the fragile nature of it but there is a stress crack to the base as shown which would be an easy fix if need be and msotly covered by a figurine on display. Other than that is has two small chips to an end of the scroll tips, an occasional very minor issue on the flowers and leaves and one scroll on the right side bottom has been reglued perfectly. The piece is marked to the back with the udner glaze blue crossed swords from around 1750 as shown. It is 10.5 inches tall, 6.75 inches wide and 4.125 inches deep. The space for the base of a figurine is about 3 inches wide by 2.75 inches deep with a little wiggle room. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
