Pair of German 18th Century Meissen Figures Depicting the Four Seasons
This pair of German Marcolini Meissen porcelain double figures offer a beautiful and unique depiction of the Four Seasons. This pair is unusual in its representation of the four seasons are married within two sculptures: two seasons on each piece. Each season is easily identified: Winter is warming their hands on a fire, Spring is holding a cascading bunch of flowers. On the other sculpture, we find Autumn holding a sheave of wheat, and the figure of Summer is holding a bunch of grapes in one hand, about to sample them, with a larger bunch of grapes in the other hand. Each sculpture is stamped on its bottom with the Meissen crossed swords in blue.
