Found this pristine piece of Dresden today at SA. It's really beautiful and the painting is intricate and detailed. It measures 9"x 10" not a nick or chip and the gilding is perfect . Photo glare makes some of it look like it's missing. Not sure about the age or artist as Dresden is not a factory but a generic term for this German regional porcelain. The mark can sometimes indicate the artist's initial. In this case maybe "Franziska Hirsch" but I'm not sure. It does look similar to her style. Her marks don't use the crown though at least not the few I've seen online. -Mike-
I love and collect German porcelain, including Dresden - but I have not seen this pattern and back stamp yet. It's very beautiful!
Thank you freiheit. I looked at your posts and you have some incredible pieces as well. :)
Thanks a lot for your compliment:)
Thanks Jay.. It's always fun to just walk into the thrift stores and there these pieces sit. Pay and go. Doesn't happen very often though...lol :)
Exquisite!!!
mikelv, would you mind turning the pics right side up?
Absolutely stunning bowl. I am sure it's authentic and I've seen the mark before. I believe it's Hirsch as well, though it could also be Jacob Heufel.
And it could be Adolph Hamann as well (in fact, that might be the most likely judging by the style)... you begin to see the issue that real Dresden afficionados have to identify the exact studio.
I note tat Hirsch and not Hamann uses the H below the cornw. I inherited a dresden porcelain hand painted apple and am trying to figure out its age.
