AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A fine porcelain vase from the world-famous Meissen porcelain manufactory, decorated with the classic motif of the Red Chinese Dragon. This historic court decoration is among the most prestigious hand-painted designs of the manufactory and was originally produced exclusively for the Saxon court. The dragon is masterfully executed in a rich iron red, with finely detailed scales, flames, and the typical imperial pearl – an impressive example of the high art of Meissen painting.
On the underside is the pure, uninterrupted crossed swords mark in cobalt blue, without lines or loops – a clear sign of first quality. The small red numbers and abbreviations are original painter's and decorator's marks, as found only on hand-painted Meissen ware.
The vase is in very good condition, with no visible damage or restoration. Its shape is classic and elegant, making it suitable both as a collector's item and as a decorative accent in modern and historical interiors.
The goods are wrapped in padding foil and enclosed in bio-styrofoam within a double-walled carton for shipment via DHL.
A high-quality piece from the first European porcelain manufactory – ideal for connoisseurs, Meissen collectors and lovers of fine hand painting.
