This is a MASSIVE Meissen Punch bowl C.1740, WHICH I AM GOING TO SAY IS UNIQUE. Size is 32 1/4cm wide x 15 1/2cm high. AMAZINGLY, IT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION THROUGHOUT, with a very small bit of rubbing to the gilding on rim. Painted with two large Battle Scenes from the Turkish Wars after G.P. Rugendas. In between those it has flowers painted by Johann Gottfried Klinger, who created the Shaded Holzschnittblumen (shadowed Flowers) he also done this with Bugs. He worked for the Meissen Factory until 1746. It has the Meissen Cross Swords and impressed 20 on the Base. Interestingly, it also a hidden Cross Swords in the Battle Scene on the Flag. In all the big sales, and fine Meissen sellers, I have never seen such a LARGE IMPRESSIVE bowl as this.

CONDITION. PERFECT AND NEVER TOUCHED OR RESTORED IN 260 YEARS.
