Bird Scene Cup & Saucer - As Is #1

This is a nice looking cup and saucer set made by Meissen in the early 19th century during the so called Schmierzeit of around 1820. Both pieces are hand painted with a polychrome large bird scene including two birds in a small landscape surrounding with three bugs filling in the rest of the space on the saucer and two bugs and a bird on the cup.Gold trim to the edges and the handle. The set displays perfectly but there is a touch of wear to the gilding and the saucer has had a chip restored on the rim as shown. It was well restored but that area has slightly yellowed over time. The saucer is just over 1.125 inches tall and has a diameter of 5.5 inches. The cup is 2.625 inches tall and has a diameter of 2.875 inches. Both are marked underneath with the under glaze blue crossed swords of the Schmierzeit (a bit messy which is why they call it that) as shown. Impressed number as well. A great looking set even with the issue on the saucer. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
