Meissen Green Lead Crystal Vine Leaf Pattern Bowl

This is a finely crafted lead crystal bowl attributed to Meissen, measuring approximately 17cm in height and 22cm in width. The piece is characterized by its vibrant emerald to chartreuse green gradient, featuring a dense, overlapping vine leaf or 'Weinlaub' pattern in high relief. The design radiates from a central floral whorl at the base, with individual leaves sculpted to form a scalloped, organic rim. The construction exhibits the heavy, high-quality refractive properties typical of luxury European crystal. The translucent nature of the glass allows for varying intensities of green depending on the light source and glass thickness. While Meissen is traditionally famed for porcelain, their glassworks (Meissen Bleikristall) produced high-end decorative glassware. The condition appears sound with no visible chips or cracks in the primary photograph, though a small auction sticker (436) is present on the interior. The piece reflects a Mid-to-Late 20th-century aesthetic, combining traditional naturalistic motifs with bold, modernist color palettes. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the precision of the mold and the clarity of the crystal material.
