Rare 18th Century Early Meissen Antique German Porcelain Dove Pigeon Tureen
Posted by admin On September 4, 2023
Add threetreefrogs to favourites. EXCEPTIONALLY FINE AND RARE EARLY MEISSEN LIDDED SAUCE TUREEN. Presenting a magnificent 18th Century soft paste porcelain tureen and cover naturalistically modelled into the of a nesting dove / pigeon. This exceptional example was produced by the quality German makers, Meissen, circa mid to late 1700s. The beautifully modelled dove is seated upon a basket moulded base with applied shredded clay foliage trimming the top of the nest. This piece is wonderfully finished in naturalistic glazes. SIZE: This impressive piece stands approx 120mms tall, measures 195mms in length and 78mms in width. CONDITION: This piece is presented in very good antique condition with some exceptionally minor losses to the shredded clay foliage noticeable only on extremely close examination but mentioned for complete accuracy. There appears to be a minor old repair to one side of the birds tail which has been professionally done and incredibly hard to spot. We had to take a magnifyer to the piece and even then it was hard to detect. There is a minuscule fleabite sized nibble to the top of the crest upon the birds head and the tiniest rough spot to the tip of the birds beak. There is some internal staining which we have not attempted to bleach out or remove in any way and should be able to be lessened in the new owners preferred manner. Light overall surface crazing mentioned for accuracy. This authentic antique example has survived exceptionally well and presents spectacularly. MARKS: The unglazed base is beautifully marked with Meissen’s brushed blue crossed swords. Early Meissen examples such as this fine figural tureen are highly desirable and feature in top Museum collections. This stunning piece would make an outstanding addition to any early Meissen, quality antique porcelain or figural tureen collection! Shop Pottery & Ceramics.

The clock demonstrates the finest quality of craftsmanship. To the front elevation, the clock features a silvered dial with Roman numerals. The front elevation of the base features repoussé work with shells and scroll work. A book, scroll and harp surmount the clocks drum case alongside a laurel wreath representing victory. The mechanism features a suspension silk thread. The clock features a twin train mechanical movement striking the hours and half on a bell. The clock is regulated by a count wheel. The mechanism is stamped by one of the most important and prolific 19th century clock makers, Japy Freres. The bell, pendulum and winding key are present. 37 cm high x 27 cm wide x 8.5 cm deep. Condition: Overall, the clock is in good working condition. The ormolu is in good condition and retains a very good colour. Please note, whilst the clock currently works, during transport, all clocks are moved around a lot, and therefore, they may require setting up upon receiving them as well as the possibility of requiring professional assistance or a service as they can get’stuck’. There is no guarantee that the clock will work smoothly after it has been transported. Please study the pictures and ask any questions that you may have.
