MEISSEN MARK AR 1800'S~STUNNING SWEET MEATS DISH CENTRAL MALE FIGURE~R3000

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WELCOME : PAYPAL REGISTERED FOR PAYMENTS : INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING US$46

Although there is a pair of these delightful items on my auctions, this auction is for the male peasant cook figure only. (female figure is listed separately). I am not an expert on Antique Meissen, and have listed this item with the following description pertaining to the best of my ability with assistance from some research into the validity of the piece. According to research, the AR (Augustus Rex) stamp underglaze blue does show some variation from the third quarter 18th century, but obviously cannot rule out the possibility of a later early 19th Century reproduction, also highly sought and valuable. However, the quality of the hard paste porcelain and attention to detail on the painted clothing and bowl of flowers in relief certainly suggests that this item is genuine? Apart from a few minor chips to flowers, one bowl edge chip, firing marks in odd corner, and one foot missing, the male figure and bowl is in an acceptable Antique condition. There are no signs of any early or later restoration to this item. Gilt decoration to scroll panels and bowl edge has worn, but traces remain.  

Measures approximately 21 cm wide, about 10 cm deep and about 16.5 cm high. Combined shipping available if both are purchased by the same buyer.
