Featured Of MEISSEN and Men Or....For Whom The MEISSEN Tolls

I betcha no one has ever mixed mashed two American writers with German porcelain!

Anyway, enough of that!

Picked up this pair of porcelain figurines at the auction the other night. The bidding was tough! I had to bid all the way to $10 (for both) before I scared off the other bidders.

Do you think these are real Meissen? The quality is superb and they are very heavy.

 

You are seriously making me want to by porcelain figurines now ! Those are exquisite. Id say the quality looks right to be Meissen.Notice how you can see the skin tones through the diaphanous gown of the one warming her hands .Lovely ,absolutely lovely.

those two are indeed lovely !!

 

Is the bottom glazed? Is the mark under glaze?

2 of the 4 elements... water and fire?

I think they are nicely modeled, but I would expect Meissen to have a glazed bottom and the mark under glaze, but I don't know enough to be certain about that.

 

Of meissen men works, I give you that one, bravo

 

They are nice, especially for what you paid, but Im very doubtful. Looking at the belt and decoration on shoulder cloak, looks too sloppy, don't like the mark either, doesn't look right at all unglazed like that

 

I reckon the 1st link roaring20s posted looks right

 

And that these aint

 

For $10 they are very nice and you should do well I’d expect. Real idk but I find others comments compelling.

 

"
Of MEISSEN and Men Or....For Whom The MEISSEN Tolls" best title ever!

I do think these are very nicely done, even the toenails have been attended to with a blush color.

The marks look slap dashed out onto the bottoms, neither of which appears to have wear marks. These girls appear to be overly clean. The clear glaze over the paint looks "too shiny" and "not right" for an older glaze, and I doubt a pink colored blush would have been used to accentuate the breast area on the one I can see and the other has more nicely formed bewbies than I'd expect too. I doubt these are old, but certainly worth every penny you paid!

 

Stunning!!!

 

Johnny, you are soo much more sophisticated than I am!
I just realized we were talking about the same thing!

 

This is usually not my thing, but those are lovely.

 

Ditto.

 

Thanks for all the great responses!!

 

both women have a very sensual quality about them.
pose, clothes, bare shoulders and legs....
I'd say the artist was very aware of what he was doing...!

 

But the ankles! Did you see the ankles?! Hot damn I say, hot damn.

 

Not Meissen crossed swords mark.
