    Description

    This beautiful 19th. century 8" tall Meissen pitcher has three marks on its base:  Crossed Swords, the number 33 and an ornate letter A.
    Across the pitcher from tip of the spout to the back of the handle it measures 7 1/2".  The largest rounded part of the pitcher is approximately 5 1/2".
    The hand painted images are charming.  On one side is a large family of chickens.  On the opposite side is a family of geese.  Both images are set within a a natural setting.  The chickens are in front of a thatched roofed farmhouse.  The geese are among swamp grasses.
    Surrounding both major images are numerous insects including a prominent yellow butterfly.  Scattered about the pitcher are flowering sprigs.
    I can see no cracks or flaws to any surface.  The gold painted surfaces are bright and bold.
