    Hi all

    i have this porcelain object. All i can think is its a pastille burner?

    has a crossed swords mark and decorated with insect, so leaning Meissen but i don’t think the quality is there.

    12.5cm height
    19.5cm widest point

    thanks!

    Agreed, it is the most faked/copied mark.
    Thanks for the close match though.

    yeah it doesn't look like a meissen mark, and overall not fine enough with the decoration, great little painted insects though, lovely touch

    the link kent posted states 'rechaud' which translates as a food or plate warmer or spirit burner

    Well spotted! Which is what I initially thought it was, but usually there's a (matching) pot or something that sits on top; I didn't know there were stand-alone ones.
