Sensation on cash for Rares: Meissen cup achieves 760 euros!

A nice summer afternoon in Dresden, and the anticipation for the next episode of "Bares for Rares" will be clearly noticeable. This is how Rita Hullmann from Cologne introduced her special cup - a timeless piece of Saxon history. The cup, made by the renowned company Meissen in the 1890s, shows the impressive Pillnitz Castle, the summer residence of the Saxon kings on the front. Inside, gold decoration gives the container a touch of elegance. Only the lack of the right saucer clouded the joy a bit, but that did not detract from the overall value. Expert Colmar Schulte-Goltz appreciated them to a considerable 650 to 750 euros, and the result of the auction exceeded all expectations: the cup changed the owner for 760 euros, auctioned by dealer Fabian Kahl, and both, both Hullmann and Kahl, were overjoyed with the end of the auction.

Meissener porcelain is not only known for its beauty, but also for its historical value. A look at the properties that determine the price of such an object is extremely informative. Factors such as age, design and the condition are crucial to determine the real value of a piece. In the case of Hullmann's cup, the gold inside and the visual representation of Pillnitz Castle plays a major role, because historical significance often increases the price considerably. Sculptures and artistically painted vases that are made by hand usually achieve even higher prices. Classifieds explains that some special features, such as gold-plated elements or the cultivation of typical techniques, also increase the appreciation of the works of art.

dealer view and market development

dealer Kahl, who is now the proud owner of the cup, shows a good hand for valuable pieces and already has some successes in the master class. Meissen porcelain is particularly popular on today's market, as many collectors are hunting for unique specimens. Historical pieces can achieve interesting prices, even if the quality subsides. The demand is unbroken, and with an original piece from Meißen it always says: "Good business is going on by itself."

In addition, it should be mentioned that the authenticity signs, such as the crossed swords, play a decisive role when buying Meissen porcelain. Traders and buyers sort the goods by quality, which is particularly important in the historical variants. Falkenhagene, which was created in the 1710s, have their price today-and a cup from the time of Albrechtsburg is certainly part of it.

The question remains which treasures the domestic market still has ready. Perhaps another collector's item is buzzing among the Dresdners, which is waiting to become the next sensational success. One thing is certain: the Meißen tea cup not only has a high historical value, but also conjures up a smile on every collector with its golden ornament.
