An assembled pair of large Potschappel vases and pierced covers late 19th century

each painted, after the Meissen models, on the front with figural scenes and on the reverse with a colorful flower arrangement; affixed on either side with ram's head handles; the cover encrusted with flowers, crossed lines and T marks in underglaze-blue, impressed 412.

Both with some minor and occasional chips/losses to the edges of the applied leaves and flowers. One vase has been off its base and the base further broken into several pieces; and all restored with riveted repairs. The other vase has an approximate 1 1/2-inch flat chip to the interior of the rim that has been possibly reduced down; the chip is not visible from the exterior. Otherwise in good condition.
