Description: Rimmed soup bowl by Meissen. Bowl is antique, but of unknown exact age. I was not successful identifying the pattern (if you know, please drop me a message!). The pattern features irises and another flower in the center. This complements many of the Meissen patterns with a multi-motif of different flowers on different pieces. The rim is scalloped / scrolled. It has an inner gold band, as well as an apricot or peach colored band, also trimmed widely with gold. In addition to Meissen's hallmark of double crossed swords, there are impressed numbers "55" and "2". Condition: Excellent giftable condition. This bowl is in fabulous condition for its age. The hallmark has two lines drawn through it, indicating this was a factory second. I believe this is because the peach band does not completely meet up with the gold rim paint. No mentionable condition issues post-manufacture. No crazing or discoloration. Transfer and over-painting intact without erosion or damage. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's. Don't feel anything amiss when I run finger around edges. No evidence of prior repairs or restoration. Dimensions: 8.75” diameter x 1-5/8” profile depth. Base diameter is 4-3/8". Rim is approx. 1.5" wide. Unpacked weight: 14 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
