The vase has a triangular base in which three figurines (a man and two ladies - I think) stand who are holding up the vase part like Atlas was holding the earth. The vase hassix candleholder looking things that go into the vase and could hold flowers too. Nice arcarnus leaf decoration in relief to the top and gold highlights throughout. The piece is marked with the crown over CC mark in underglaze blue. The entire vase is 10 inches tall and 8 inches in diameter so a sizable piece. It is in good condition considering the size and nature of the piece. I took a lot of photos so look at those as well please. There is some small chipping to all rims - none of which is horrendous. The candle holders have the most damage with all of them missing a piece. The figurines are in perfect condition and the gilding amazingly is as well except where there are chips. It looks like it might have had a lid but the one in the Ludwigsburg book is the same and they have a complete inventory in it and would have mentioned one.  A very nice piece that would make a great addition to any collection. Porzellan Porcelaine Paypal for international bidders only unless otherwise discussed. I will send a separate invoice via Paypal if needed. Shipping is 15 Dollars including insurance (Continental US). My shipping costs are all entered into Ebay and they are flat fees. I won't change them and if you don't like them - don't bid. Fairly simple really. Sometimes I gain most times I loose on them. I combine shipping as much as I can do safely. I ship airmail only and it should be pretty fast but sometimes it takes up to ten weeks and I have no control over that. Usually it is stuck in customs. I would like an email from the winning bidder within three days if at all possible! I ship internationally and like money orders and personal checks the best. It takes a bit longer but is a lot less costly to me. I pack very safely so no worries there! I can accept Paypal if need be as well. E-mail me with any questions or concerns. I also understand that more pictures might be helpful so just ask. I will write back for sure (but don't wait till last minute). Money back guarantee for valid reasons but items are not new and in some cases 200 years plus old so keep that in mind. I also have for auction some Meissen pieces , KPM , Nymphenburg , Sevres , Vienna , Dresden , and some English pieces like Worcester and Staffordshire , etc. Something for everyone - just have a peek at the other auctions. Thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff! Hope you enjoyed the show :) Place a Bid!
