Limited Masterworks 2020 Covered vase with "Watteau painting" and volute handles surmounted by female heads

The vase "Watteaumalerei" combines the tradition of craftsmanship, history as well as excellence Meissen in the limited edition of the masterpieces. Probably designed around 1735-40 by Johann Joachim Kaendler, the magnificent vase was reworked around 1862 by Ernst August Leuteritz in the style of his time, ornately decorated with so-called "volute handles", a snail-shaped decorative element of antique columns and pediments, as well as characteristic female heads. The hand-painted staffing also reveals Meissen's unrivaled craftsmanship: framed by a cobalt blue background with gold ornaments, a hand-painted scene was created based on copperplate engravings by the French rococo painter Jean-Antoine Watteau. On the front of the limited edition vase a guitar player serenading his beloved, on the back a gallant gentleman with a birdcage and two ladies admiring the bird. The fine porcelain provides a beautiful stage for this masterfully hand-painted decoration.
