Cupid with Shirt Golddecoration glossy

Cupid figures have been among the most beloved creations of Meissen porcelain art since the mid-eighteenth century. The present figure is based on a design by the sculptor Johann Pollak from 1880 and embodies the characteristic combination of grace, lightness and masterful craftsmanship for which the manufactory is renowned.

In European art, Cupid symbolises love, joy and the playful power of human emotions. The dynamic pose, finely modelled wings and elegant movement of the body lend the figure a vivid presence and make it a timeless symbol of classical beauty.

For this special edition, the entire figure has been finished in brilliant gold. Applied by hand, genuine gold adorns every individual piece. Each figure contains approximately 2 grams of pure 24-carat gold, giving the porcelain its exceptional radiance and luxurious appearance.

As an expression of technical precision and artistic refinement, this golden Cupid also reflects MEISSEN's enduring ability to reinterpret historic models in a contemporary way while preserving their timeless appeal.
