We met an old German gentleman while buying some puppies from him, my husbands mother was interested in porcelain antiques and this man had this piece in his garage.

We asked to buy it but he just let us have it since he said he had no one to leave it to.

Unfortunately the gentelman has passed away and we failed to ask more about it at the time.

Now we have this beautiful piece and we don't know what it is.

We think it is a Dresden or Meissen centerpiece. It is decorated with harp players and has two blue crossed swords on the bottom

We would be very grateful for any info on this piece thank you

Quality Counts

Very difficult to identify whether this piece is genuine Meissen or Dresden from the photos. A valuer or antiques dealer would really need better quality photos or to actually hold the piece to guage the quality of the porcelain and the ceramic decoration.

Similarly crossed swords mark should be accompanied by other, mostly impressed, marks that cannot be seen in the photos.

Love to help as it does look like a lovely piece but really need more information... Julie
