This highly decorative Meissen porcelain urn is featured in Michaan's August Estate Auction.
The urn displays numerous decorative motifs, with double snake handles striking a marked
visual prominence. Twin coiling snakes rise from ornate foliage theme bases, resting their
heads upon the urn's rim. The neck of the urn is richly painted with a cobalt blue hue,
offsetting various border designs. The central portion of the porcelain body is then hand
painted with sprays of assorted spring blooms. The Meissen hand painted snake handled urn
will be offered in the sale at an auction estimate of $1,000-1,500.
