Description:

TWO MEISSEN POLYCHROME PAINTED PORCELAIN FIGURES, UNDERGLAZE AND INCISED MARKS, 19TH/20TH CENTURY, one modeled as the classically draped Nereid water nymph Amphitrite, as she prepares to bathe with one foot raised on a vine encrusted tree trunk and the other standing on an oval base, trimmed in raised Vitruvian scrolls above a concave frieze with groups of dolphins and marsh willows flanking gilt tridents, verso underglaze blue crossed swords mark, cursive incised "M.193," impressed "50," height: 14 1/2"; a small figure of an 18th century fruit vendor youth, wearing period attire and partially resting on a tree trunk, while holding an apples and plums filled basket, verso underglaze blue crossed swords mark, overglaze red "19," cursive incised "5," and impressed "145," height: 5 1/4".  

  • Condition: Each are in good to very good condition and have normal light gilding wear. Amphitrite has a scratch on her left shoulder, some expected chipped leaves on the vines and surface buildup throughout but otherwise is in good shape. The fruit vendor has a chipped leaf amidst the fruit and is lacking a handle on the basket.    Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
