Schneeballen translates from German as 'snowball' and refers to the bulbous spheres that are a distinguishing feature of Schneeballen porcelain vases, the first of which was crafted in 1739 by famed Meissen decorator Johann Joachim Kaendler.
This late 19th Century Schneeballen dresser or vanity setare decorated profusely in typical fashion with hundreds of intricate, white mayflowers intersected by subtle gilt bands. Mounted onto the bottles and box the flowers are just amazing and it's unbelievable they have survived this long. We have had them in our collection for over 45 years .
The large box with cover is particularly striking and the beautiful pastel colored flowers and vines are soft and elegant. There are no markings on the box but the backs of both bottles are marked with 23/4/6. Years ago I saw a collection of Schneeballen displayed on top of a buffet and it was so spectacular. This set would be a great start to your own Schneeballen collection. Bottles are 4 x 4 x 11 and box is ,a 7 x 7 x 6.
