Question on Meissen cup with relief

I acquired a pretty cup that bears the Meissen crossed swords, but is unlike any I have seen. The cup stands approx. 3" high and a diameter of approx. 2 1/2". The opening is somewhat out of 'round'.

The difference in this one is that the painted scene is of charactors, trees etc. in raised relief. The subject matter seems to be of early Greek or Roman. Great colors.

Any help as to period, scarcity etc. would be appreciated.

Pictures found here:: http://wes-goldbracelet.blogspot.com/ Thank you for any assistance. Great forum.

Re: Question on Meissen cup with relief
It is possible your cup was not painted at Meissen. Its difficult to tell one of your images is a bit to bright and the more orange of the two appears to have paint missing. Nevertheless the form of the cup dates from around 1840. Is there any cancellation a cut through the mark

Re: Question on Meissen cup with relief
Thank You... No, there are no cancellation slashes. The reason I wondered about this was the subject matter of the scenes, (middle eastern-Greek/Roman etc.) and the fact that the figures, trees etc. are all 'raised' in relief. Most all the Meissen I've seen has at least some flowers, vines and floral type decoration. Some paint loss, but colors are quite vivid.
