Meissen Vase

I bought this at an exclusive estate sale. It had belonged to the woman's mother who passed away several years ago at age 100 and it had been handed down to her mother when her mother was young.

I listed it in excellent condition, which it is, except for one place on top of the handle where there had been a cherub that had gotten broken off leaving only it's tiny legs. I do not have the missing piece. But other then that, this vase is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips and the paint and glaze are excellent.

On the handle is a half man half horse or something, and on the other side, under the very beautifully shaped spout, is a cherub riding a horse that is half horse, half mermaid or sea creature, as it's hind end spilts on each side into the fish-like tail.

The middle is covered with cherubs with dolphin type fish, while below that are 3 naked half woman half mermaid type figures that have their arms intertwined as if they were holding up the vase.

The details on this are just amazing escpecially on the little faces. They are so detailed that they almost look real.

On the bottom is the Meissen blue crossed swords and by one of the sword's handles is a blue letter or something that looks like an M.

I have searched for a Meissen like this, and I found one similar, but it was no as elaborate as this one, but the cherubs were identical in their faces and hair styles, and in an Antiques Roadshow Book, it said that in the late 19th century, Meissen and others, had hair in "wavy-low-brow" style, which I believe is what these cherubs have.

So with all that, the crossed blue swords, the identical cherubs on a Roadshow Meissen, and the woman who's mother this belonged to told me it was Meissen, i truly believe it is a Meissen. But I am far from an expert and I would greatly appreciate any information on it.

Thank you !!!
