AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large and exceptionally decorative porcelain presentation ewer by E. & A. Müller, Schwarza-Saalbahn, Thuringia, Germany.
Date: circa 1895-1920 / around 1900.
Height: approx. 40 cm.
An elaborate Historicist / Neo-Rococo model with
finely sculpted and hand-painted decoration.
The body is richly decorated on both sides with
mythological marine scenes. One side features Neptune/Poseidon holding a trident and driving a sea-horse chariot, accompanied by putti.

The tall, flowing neck terminates in a large shell-shaped spout. The elaborate handle incorporates a sculptural winged female figure. The entire ewer is richly decorated with three-dimensional Rococo-style ornamentation, waves, floral elements and partial gilding.
The underside bears the blue E. & A. Müller
manufactory mark, together with the impressed model/form number "1483" and an additional impressed number "9".

CONDITION:
Antique condition consistent with age, with signs of use and areas of wear to the gilding.
IMPORTANT:
There are visible cracks in the upper figural handle
area. There is also a small chip/loss to the decorative area near the lower part/base of the ewer. Other minor age-related signs of wear may also be present.

The visible damage and signs of age are shown in the photographs and form an integral part of the condition description.
Due to its age, large size of approximately 40 cm and numerous delicate sculptural elements, this is a fragile collector's piece.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and condition report.
