Rendered in deep puce pink with delicate gold highlights, this quatrefoil-shaped dish showcases the refined artistry that made Meissen Europe’s premier porcelain manufactory.

Dating to the late 19th to early 20th century (c.1880–1910), this piece bears the authentic Meissen crossed swords mark in underglaze blue on the base. Its elegant 6-inch form was originally designed as a sweetmeat or nut dish, though today it makes a striking collector’s accent, display piece, or gift for the porcelain enthusiast. Marked with artist identifier on bottom.

Condition:
Excellent mint condition. No chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. The painting is crisp, and the gilt rim remains bright and intact. Hard to find in such perfect preservation.
