I find it wonderful that the name Meissen appears synomously with everything written about art even when little is about the subject of Meissen itself.

the auctioneers Woolley and Wallis Lot No 184 A rare Meissen armorial tea bowl, painted in schwarzlot and richly gilded, with an elaborate armorial, the reverse with a garland of flowers suspended from a hoop, the base with a caduceus mark, c.1730. Damage and wear. 7.7cm. Across. The estimate of 2-300 was in my opinion very fair and I was interested in acquiring this piece for double the estimate. I am never put off by damage on any piece if its attributes are either fine quality or unique.
