Antique 19thC Vienna Porcelain Figural Potpourri Dish Porzellan Duftschale Wien

Description

For sale is
a really fun lidded potpourri dish made by a Royal Vienna factory in the 19th century . Looks to nice to be early so I think it is an 19th century example but not sure. Either way - it is a stunningly modeled piece with so much nice cutout work as well as those nice feet and figural handles and off course the little soldier sitting on top of the lid. Hand painted mostly in puce, turquoise and gilding with the figurine having a little more color. Just a stunning piece! The piece is in superb condition with some firing flaws - a stray paint mark as well as a large brown firing fault to the inside, an odd firing fault to the glaze of the lid which I have not seen before - the glaze is milky in that spot. Not sure if something stuck to it during the firing but it is smooth. And one teeny chip to a scroll on the side of the lid as well as a little wear to the gilding and some very minor firing cracks. The entire piece is 11 inches tall, about 7 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. The dish is marked underneath with the under glaze blue shield mark often called a beehive on the inside rim of the base as shown. Austrian Austria
