Set of 4 Decorative Columns #1

This is a superb set of two full sized and two half sized columns made in the Dresden area in the later 19th century. Probably by Carl Thieme / Potschappel by the look of it. Each column has a hand painted scene in the center surrounded by applied 3D flower, leaf and fruit garlands held together by a blue bow at the bottom. Gold trim to the top and bottom parts as well as two hand painted bugs near the bottom. A floral arrangement under the blue bow. The full sized columns have two floral arrangements to the back side as shown as well as another hand painted bug/ A really nice set that would look amazing with a nice wooden shelf. They are unmarked except for some numbers / Roman numerals. The have a hole going through the entire piece for a metal rod so it can be held in place. They are all in great condition with some minor damage. Couple of bottom edge nibbles. Damage to a loop of one of the blue bows is on a full sized column and two spots that look like fruit or flowers are gone but one is glazed so I think it is from when it was made. Almost no chips to the flowers and leaves. About as nice as you will ever see and nicer in terms of quality than any others I have seen from this area. condition. The columns are just under 9 inches tall. The bottom diameter of the full sized ones is 2.25 inches. The others are 1.125 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $299
