Description
|
A very fine Meissen 'Schneeballen' cup and saucer, applied with a dense ground of mayflowers and trailing leafy branches, painted with Commedia dell'arte also known as "Italian comedy" in purple monochrome. Elaborate gilt rims. Crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue on the base of the saucer. The painting in the cup is in very fine condition, the stripe of light is from the camera.
