    Description

    For sale is
    a very rare egg cup made by Meissen during the late 18th century of the Marcolini period . I finally found another one described as a double egg cup or double ended eggcup at an auction in Germany which ended a long time ago. A double-ended one meant an egg could be eaten upright, as in France and the other Romance countries, or lying horizontally, popular in Germany and the Netherlands in the 18th century. Only a handful of double ended pieces were created for the Royal Court at Dresden. So definitely a real treat :) It is hand painted with strewn flowers all around the outside, some nice gold trim as well as a large polychrome floral arrangement to the top inside as shown. A very rare shape to find! The egg cup is in superb condition - same as the day it was made! About as nice as anyone can hope for! The piece is 2.125 inches tall, 2.375 inches long and 1.875 inches in diameter at the round end. It is marked underneath with the blue crossed swords mark with a star underneath as well as a blue 4. and another blue dot.
