The small decorative dog is portrayed seated on its hind legs, with a tilted head, large protruding eyes, and richly modelled curls of fur.

LARGE SALON VASE WITH FLORAL BOUQUETS. ERNST AUGUST LEUTERITZ GERMANY, MEISSEN, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

LARGE SALON VASE WITH FLORAL BOUQUETS. ERNST AUGUST LEUTERITZ GERMANY, MEISSEN, SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY

A large museum-level salon vase produced at the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory after a model by the distinguished sculptor and modeller Ernst August Leuteritz. The monumental form, rooted in Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque traditions, is conceived as an elongated baluster set on a profiled circular foot with a broad, stable base.The vase is constructed in two parts and displays a pronounced architectural silhouette. The high neck with a richly articulated rim is decorated with an ornamental frieze and a sculptural “pearl” moulding. Two powerful scroll handles, accentuated with gilded mounts, create a ceremonial and symmetrical rhythm. The lower body and base are enriched with finely modelled acanthus leaves, lavishly highlighted with gilding and executed with exceptional precision.The body is covered in a deep royal cobalt glaze, characteristic of Meissen’s prestigious works of the nineteenth century. On the central reserves, finely painted polychrome floral bouquets depicting roses and chrysanthemums are rendered in a highly accomplished overglaze technique. The painterly treatment reveals subtle tonal gradations, delicate modelling of petals and foliage, and a refined chromatic balance. Rich gilding frames the composition and enhances the overall impression of opulence and decorative splendour.Marks: Underglaze blue crossed swords mark of the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory; first quality mark.Dimensions: Height: 60 cm. Width: 35 cm. Depth: 35 cm.Material: Porcelain. Underglaze and overglaze painting. Cobalt glaze. Gilding.Condition: Good. Minor signs of age consistent with period. No chips or cracks. Gilding well preserved.
