Up for auction is this wonderful antique Meissen Germany 9 1/4 inch diameter bowl with a hand painted multicolored Chinese mythological scene. The bowl has the antique underglaze blue crossed swords mark. It is highlighted by the scene of what we believe to be Pixiu, a Chinese mythological creature who is a winged lion, on a pole, growling at a bird. There are plants, flowers and butterflies on the plate. We do not know the significance of the myth but we do kno...w that Pixiu represents wealth and financial prosperity in Chinese myth. The bird could be a Phoenix such as the Vermillion Bird, but we are not positive of this. The plate measures about 9 1/4 inches in diameter X 2 inches tall and has gold trimmed ruffled edges. It is in excellent condition with minimal wear to gold trim. No chips, cracks or crazing. Colors are clear and bright. A great piece in nice shape offered with NO RESERVE!!
