Royal Vienna Scenic Urn

This is a superb scenic lidded urn / vase made by one of the so called Royal Vienna makers in the late 19th century. The piece is handpainted with two superb scenes - one on the front and one on the back as well as the typical Vienna type gold designs on a reddish colored gound all around. The urn sits on a nice pedestal to give it some extra height which is nice! Both scenes are handpainted, signed A. Herr and their titles are on the underside. The scenes are titled Amor wird Entwaffnet and Adonis und Nymphe in black. Very good quality and a decorative piece that is rarer than the plates and much nicer I think. The piece is marked with the beehive or shield mark underneath as shown. It is 9 inches tall (including the lid), 4 inches wide and 3.875 inches in diameter at the base. The piece is in great conditin with the lid finial reglued and some minor wear. The joint between the top urn part and its base is a bit loose which is normal and can easily be fixed if need be though it is rather minor. Please email me for more information or photos.
