AN UNUSUAL LARGE MEISSEN PORCELAIN FIGURE OF A BIRD modelled with brightly painted enamels, standing amongst reeds upon a plain base. 22 cm x 17 cm. Note: The origins of Meissen porcelain lie with Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus, who, in 1708, began producing fine porcelain wares. Von Tschirnhaus' work presented an astonishing novelty, because he created the first European hard-paste porcelain. Previously, European porcelain had only been made in soft-paste.
