Antique 18thC Mennecy Porcelain Chinoiserie Scene Scenic Knife Porzellan Messer

Description

For sale is
a very rare large knife with the handle made by Mennecy in the 18th century . It is made of a creamy colored soft paste with a colorful Chinoiserie design. The blade is steel which is marked with a head shaped mark as shown. The knife is amazingly complete with the blade which isn't that common. It is in superb condition with some oxidation to the blade, and short crack in the porcelain and the silver collar between the steel blade and porcelain handle has seen better days. There is a tiny bit of wear to the scene but it is in much better shape than one would expect if used. The porcelain is unmarked which is the norm. The knife is 10 inches long of which the visible porcelain handle is about 3.5 inches.
