Tristan,

I have to disagree with you this time, this lovely gull ranks right up there with all
the rest of them! Big Grin

A great, early pattern by Max Esser for Meissen I believe? And the fact that it's a TR presentation piece makes it even that much more rare and desireable. To find a porcelain that's named and awarded is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack! I hope some of the other members who enjoy this type of thing can appreciate that.

In my book this is "cream of the crop" material,
no doubt about it. Many thanks for your post and letting us have a look at this superb example. Smile

Bill
