The form features a classical baluster body with vertical gilded banding, an ornate rococo-style handle and spout, and a domed lid topped with a sculptural finial.

The underside bears Meissen’s crossed swords mark, hand-painted in underglaze blue, with additional painter’s marks and impressed numbers consistent with mid-20th-century Meissen production. The quality of the porcelain, precision of the gilding, and softness of the floral decoration are all hallmarks of Meissen craftsmanship.

Condition is very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear to the gilding, most notably along the lid rim, consistent with careful use. No chips or cracks observed.

A refined and collectible piece suitable for display, formal service, or pairing with other European porcelain. See less
