CENTERPIECE MEISSEN

A richly articulated rococo-style centerpiece composed vertically, resting on a detachable base with relief volute feet adorned with various flowers. The sculptural composition features eight putti allegorically representing the four seasons, surrounded by abundant floral decoration. The ensemble is crowned with an openwork basket, gilded on the exterior and embellished with a profusion of delicate, stylized applied flowers. The color palette is rendered in soft pastel tones, with frequent use of shell-like shapes and motifs. The overall design, ornamentation, and painterly details reference the high period of porcelain rococo in the Saxon style. Numbered on the underside: 605. Restored.

Defect: minor glaze abrasions in places.
