Vintage Design

Very rare and excellent Meissen porcelain group around 1900: Juno, the Roman goddess of the air (Greek Hera), as a young woman with her hair pinned up, covered only with a cloth, sitting on a cloud, adorning herself with bracelets, next to her attribute, the peacock as a bird of paradise and symbol of heaven, surrounded by three Putti: one at her feet, handing her a string of pearls, the second hovering above her on a pillar of cloud, holding out a hand mirror, the third beside her with a cornucopia of flowers, handing her a blossom. The group is based on an elongated cloud base with colored floral decoration and green and gold-highlighted feather leaves and rocailles.
