Meissen China Porcelain Double Inkwell with Porcelain Tray

Porcelain : By Maker Or Type : Meissen

 

Submitted for your consideration is a classic double inkwell from the renowned German porcelain manufacturer, Meissen. Meissen porcelain is eagerly collected throughout the world and traded vigorously at antique shows, auctions, and on the Internet. It is generally accepted that Meissen porcelain is among the finest and most valuable works in the world.

Please note the simple elegance of this lovely creation. Both the tray and the two pots are hand painted with an understated floral design, the rich green tones of the leaves and the dark vines serving as a perfect complement to the pristine white porcelain that forms the base of the work. The tiny lids to each pot continue this color scheme. The tray measures 9” by 6” and each pot is 2” high and 3” in diameter.

The pieces are in excellent shape. There are no chips, cracks, hairlines or crazing to any of the pieces. The markings indicate that this is a factory second and the only flaw that I could detect was a small missed spot on the tray that is in such a location that it is hidden when the pot is in place, but is shown in picture three nonetheless. Inkwells are a major area of collecting and we have seen versions of this set from lesser manufactures prices at nearly a thousand dollars, but we can offer this Meissen set for a most reasonable $725.00.
