AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and large porcelain centerpiece probably produced by the German manufacturer Von Schierholz in Germany.
The centerpiece is made of polychrome porcelain, two cherubs support a pierced basket with some flowers drawn inside and others shaped and colored on the outside. The object has been entirely handmade, from the design to the coloring.
The crowned N mark (Capodimonte), traced back to German porcelain Von Schierholz due to similar designs produced by this manufacturer.
Overall in excellent condition, with minor missing petals on some of the flowers molded on the exterior of the basket.
Rare object

Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
