Meissen scalloped bowl. 19th century, German. 5 1/8inches accross at widest point. Nearly 2inches high. 5 deep lobes, bordered by rich gilt scrolling pattern. The inside of the bowl is painted with a marvellous scene of a mother, her son and their dog in a rich parkland or garden. Pillars with pot plants indicate that this is quite a formal garden, as do the tall, elegant trees in the background. The mother is very richly dressed in aristocratic attire of the 18th century. A puce silk skirt, rich red silk sleeves and bodice emerge from under a deep blue velvet jacket and complex curled hairdo under a feathered cap. The blond-curled little boy points to something in the distance, while the little dog prances off in that direction. Crossed swords under the glaze. Very good condition with no chips/cracks of any sort. Status: For Sale Reference#: 1011 Condition: See Description Year: See Description Title: MEISSEN HPAINTED BOWL MOTHER CHILD DOG GARDEN
