ποΈ Meissen Rococo Tradition
The rococo style represents Meissen at its most playful and ornate. These bowls continue the 18th century tradition of combining sculptural form with painted decoration and gilding. The F152 models are particularly prized for their elegant proportions and the integration of staffage figures - tiny gilded scenes that add narrative depth to the floral decoration.
π¨ Artistic Excellence
Each bowl showcases multiple levels of artistry: the sculpted rococo form, the hand-painted botanical studies rendered with scientific accuracy and artistic flair, and the delicate gold staffage figures that require exceptional skill to execute. The Pfeiffer period mark indicates production during one of Meissen's most celebrated eras.
π 1st Choice Designation
Meissen's quality control is legendary. Only pieces meeting the most exacting standards receive the 1st Choice designation. Any minor imperfection relegates a piece to 2nd or 3rd Choice. This matched pair's 1st Choice status confirms museum-quality perfection.
