Antique 19thC Meissen Porcelain Cobalt Blue Scenic Tea Caddy Jar Porzellan Dose

Description: For sale is a nice tea jar or lidded vase made by Meissen in the late 19th or early 20th century . It is hand painted with a superb cobalt blue ground color with lots of fancy gilding on it and has three cartouches of which two are hand painted with floral arrangements on white ground and the last but certainly not the least with a superb Watteau style scene with two lovers in a landscape surrounding. The legs are nice as well with a branch going up them ending in raised flowers on top. The lid has the same cobalt blue ground with fancy gilding combo with a nice finial to it. The piece displays superbly but has been damaged. The finial was broken out of the lid and reglued though it is hard to spot. The main body has been knocked against in the center of the one floral arrangement and from the round small damaged spot three hairline form a star hairline one of which hits the top edge where a small piece was missing and was restored and the other goes down to the bottom and comes back up to under the Watteaus scene. Major damage but hard to spot unless you look for it. Still looks amazing when on display. Or you can just use the lid for one that is missing theirs. The tea caddy is unmarked which is fairly normal since the blue would hide it. Sometimes these are marked underneath one leg but that can rub away over time since that area is not glazed which is probably the case here. Still definitely made by Meissen during this period. The piece with the lid in place is 6 inches tall and has a diameter of 3 inches.
