Scenic Open Salt Dish

This is a superb open salt dish made by Meissen in about 1760. One of the nicest ones I have seen with a fairly typical oval shape to it and a hand painted floral arrangement to the top but the best part is the decoration of the sides. The front and back both have a small scene of a couple in a landscape surrounding while one side has a little fruit scene to it and the other a bird scene. The scenes are surrounded by some nice gold trim with a really ncie green trim going all around the salt dish. A few single flowers are towards the bottom part. The open salt dish is in superb condition with some minor wear to the gilding but that is it. The piece is marked with the under glaze blue crossed swords with the dots between the bottom part on the underside as shown. It is 1.5 inches tall, 4.125 inches wide and 3 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $999
