Meissen Porcelain Painted Tureen Cover and Stand. Lobed ovate tureen body over foot; the domed cover with applied figure of a putto, holding the end of a cornucopia issuing applied flowers and fruit in high relief. The quatrelobed stand molded with interior rim to hold tureen base. Cover, body and stand painted in polychrome enamels with finches and other birds, ladybugs, moths, pigeons, the latter nestled in branches issuing foliage. Underglaze blue Meissen crossed swords marks with two slashes, indicating cancelled, or imperfect. Incised numerals, indistinct, to tureen body and base undersides. Late 19th Century. {Appproximate dimensions: 8 1/4" H. x 11" W. x 8 3/4" D.}. Condition: The tureen body interior rim is mis-formed, and not glazed, no doubt why there is a double cancelation slice through the under glaze mark. Very minor losses to flowers and stems; minor losses to enamels. Minor flaking to enamels and minor kiln fritting.
