Antique Dresden Porcelain Cobalt Blue Cabinet Vase Painted With Cupid & Venus

A fine antique Dresden porcelain vase.

Attributed to Helena Wolfsohn’s workshop.

Of baluster form with a cobalt ground, extensive gilding throughout, and a hand painted cartouche with a depiction of cupid and Venus.

The intricately hand-painted scene is most impactful at a little bit of a distance.

Marked to the base with a blue underglaze crowned D mark.
