Limited Masterworks 2019 Jug Birth of Venus

The limited edition "Birth of Venus" pitcher was first presented at the Paris World's Fair in 1878 and stands as a true work of art for Meissen Historicism. On a limited edition Renaissance pitcher form based on the Roman model, the decoration is inspired by Italian painting of the 15th and 16th centuries, showing figures of mythology and their extraordinary, hand-painted realization in dynamic poses. The hand-painted pastel color gradient on the neck and foot of the vase succeeds only with precise stucco to make the transition flawless and harmonious. White shell details at the base are left out with foresight. Rarely does the design of individual objects on a work of art require such diverse painting techniques - a confluence that only the most experienced porcelain painters can master. The Birth of Venus pitcher is truly a beautiful piece of porcelain history. If you are interested in this work of art, please feel free to send us an inquiry. Limited edition and fully hand-painted decorated, this pitcher is a stunning testament to the highest level of craftsmanship.
