Vintage Meissner Handmalerei Porcelain Vase Ming Dragon Iron Red Gold [7408]

A captivating miniature porcelain vase bearing the prestigious "Meißner Handmalerei" (Meissen Hand Painting) mark, adorned with the iconic Ming Dragon rendered in vivid iron-red against a luminous white ground. The sinuous dragon coils dramatically around the bulbous belly of the vase, its claws and tail sweeping across the reverse — a motif rooted in the Chinese Ming imperial tradition and immortalized by the Meissen manufactory in Saxony, Germany. Fine gold line trim accents the flared trumpet rim, shoulder, and raised foot ring, adding aristocratic elegance to this rare collector's find.
