Pair of 18th Century Meissen Cups & Saucers

Gemanic States/Dresden Mid 18th Century

I would describe these as “assembled” only because one saucer has a gilded rim edge and the other 3 pieces have a brown enamel rim edge. Perhaps a saucer broke and the owner purchased another from the Meissen factory right off the shelf of a new run. The pale yellow ground exteriors with flowers and butterflies. The floral decorated interiors with flowers and insects on a white ground.

Meissen Floral Decorated Tray, Ca. 1760

A beautifully decorated Meissen tray with puce scale and gilt saw tooth upper edge and fine rococo scroll inner edge. The center floral spray displays a variety of flowers and leaves. The bottom with a serpentine central support, cross swords with dot and perhaps the artist’s cypher.
