    Its really been slim pickins since the shut down. But I did happen to stumble upon a small garage sale and found this lovely piece of Meissen. I couldnt find another example, but I believe this pattern to be Red Berries, do any of the experts out there know this to be correct or not? s-l1600ca.jpg s-l1600ff.jpg

    Many times the older patterns don't have names.
    And if it was named it would have been descriptive of the pattern. I don't see any red or berries.

    I see gold poinsettias.

    Correct that the berries are not painted red. I did initially think they could have poinsettias, but the placement of the dots seem different than traditional poinsettias, and also they are not clustered.

    China designs are subject to artistic design and don't always look like the actual plant/flower.

    Thanks, I saw it from a distance and my heart jumped. I know its no Christies specimen, but I do find it to be adoring, and happy you share in this.
