AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fascinating 19th-century Meissen vase with a serpent handle - height 25 cm - good condition.

Based on the Meissen model

It is a unique and fascinating detail that recalls neoclassical or late Victorian decorative styles.

The serpentine handle is a suggestive and symbolic decorative element widespread in the neoclassical period.
Snakes often represent eternity or protection, and the use of this form in ceramic and porcelain is a nod to classical styles.

I design unique items, and metalworking continues to interest collectors of antique ceramics and porcelain, particularly those interested in 19th-century decorative arts.
