An exuberantly decorated Meissen porcelain urn featuring a beautifully hand-painted maiden and cherub amongst flowers and fruit all accented in gilt. Creating such a piece was a painstaking process, and the enormous decorative detail is stunning. Considering the delicate nature of porcelain, this urn is in excellent condition. Set upon a matching base.

A very similar urn is featured on page 46 of the Meissen Collector’s Catalogue by Laurence Mitchell, 2004.
