This piece measures 3.5 inches (9cm) long, 1.75 inches (4.5cm) wide and 2.25 inches (6cm) high. It is handpainted with six vignettes of exotic birds to the outside. The interiors each have a vignette of exotic birds, two little insects and a butterfly or dragonfly beneath a richly gilded and ornate border. It is marked to the underside with the blue crossed swords of Meissen which have been cut, probably because one of the pots is slightly misshapen and/or has suffered glaze slip and the handle is skew-whiff. Condition otherwise is excellent with no chips, cracks or scratches, no rubbing and no restoration. We are happy to try to answer questions and to send further photos by email if requested.
