18th Century Meissen Porcelain With Hausmaleri
Item Details
An assembled collection of the eighteenth-century Meissen porcelain. The pieces were produced in the period between 1725-30. This grouping was decorated in Purpurmaleri vignettes (outside decoration in purple enamels). It was the stated policy of the factory not to issue any undecorated wares for later embellishment as the most skilled painters and gilders were employed at Meissen, however, many independent decorators or Hausmaleri were able to obtain undecorated porcelain. The collection features painted scenes of the harbor, hunting, rural life and city buildings. This assortment contains a covered tea caddy, teapot, coffee pot, chocolate pot and tea bowl with saucer. There are underglaze blue factory marks to the underside with Meissen gilders marks.
