Aus meiner persönlichen Sammlung biete ich folgendes Stück an. Meissen – großer figürlicher Tafelaufsatz – “Vier Jahreszeiten” auf Sockel von Ernst August Leuteritz. Der Dirigent aus der “galanten Kapelle” ist NICHT Bestandteil des Angebots! Er dient lediglich dazu, die enorme Größe zu veranschaulichen! Hersteller: original Meissen / blaue Schwertermarke unterglasur. 10 x 26 x 26 cm. Alter / Herstellung: Knaufzeit – siehe Schwertermarke / Bilder. Zustand: diverse Bestossungen / Altrestaurationen – Brandriss auf der Sockelunterseite. Fazit: Ein außergewöhnlich großer, aufwendiger und beeindruckender Tafelaufsatz. Ein echter Blickfang, mit herrlichem Gesamteindruck und Farbenpracht in gutem Zustand. Bitte beachten Sie, dass es sich bei diesem Stück um einen sehr alten, gebrauchten, seltenen und beliebten Gegenstand handelt, der üblicherweise Gebrauchsspuren aufweist (wenn er nicht restauriert wurde). Wir vertreten als Sammler die Grundauffassung, dass insbesondere alte, sehr seltene und aufwendige Stücke unrestauriert sein sollten so wie sie in den Museen meist präsentiert werden! Und einen besonderen, sehr schönen Gesamteindruck hinterlassen sollten. Herstellungsbedingte Brandrisse sind insbesondere bei sehr großen Objekten eher die Regel statt der Ausnahme. Die Spannung (der großen Masse) entlädt sich beim Brennen im Riss und ist endgültig, er verändert sich nicht mehr (der Haarriss hingegen wandert in der Regel). Alternativ biete ich in Deutschland die PERSÖNLICHE LIEFERUNG nach Zahlung! An, weil das Stück aufgrund seiner fragilen Teile (Gesamtgewicht im Verhältnis zu den außen liegenden Teilen) für den Versand meines Erachtens nicht optimal ist! Teilen Sie mir hierzu einfach die Postleitzahl der Lieferadresse mit, um die Kosten (VOR dem Kauf) hierfür abzustimmen / keine Barzahlung bei Abholung. Der Versand, sofern ausdrücklich gewünscht, erfolgt unter großer Sorgfalt in einem stark überdimensionierten Karton, möglichst sicher verpackt via DHL unter Verwendung von Schaumstoff – Seidenpapier – Luftpolsterfolie – Styroporflocken / Chips auf zweischichtigen, der Sockeluntereite angepassten Styroporplatten zur möglichst sicheren Fixierung. Eine Rücknahme und Gewährleistung nach EU-Recht schließe ich aus, das Versandrisiko trägt der Käufer. Abholung in Hannover / Laatzen bevorzugt! / Bilder sind Bestandteil der Auktion. Dieser Tafelaufsatz ist für den internationalen Versand nicht geeignet.
