85: AN IMPRESSIVE 24-INCH CONTINENTAL PORCELAIN BOLTED URN

An exceptional example of finely executed hand painted porcelain from the Hutschenreuther porcelain factory circa 1940s. A tribute to Royal Vienna porcelain with perfectly executed elaborate gold decoration on deep cobalt ground, gilt finial and handles, a beautifully executed painting of Europa and The Bull, the tale from Greek mythology where Europa is tricked into climbing onto the back of a beautiful, mysterious white bull, Zeus in disguise, who kidnaps her to Crete. The opposite side with a classical scene of semi-nude maidens and cherubs picking flowers. All the decoration is painted by hand, there are no areas of transfer or decal. Two-piece bolted construction, signed Hutschenreuther Hohenberg Abteilung Dresden Handmalerei on the base and inside the cover. Measures 24 x 17 inches across the handles.
