Lovesick (Liebesschmerz!) Beauty, Antique German Boudoir Dish

Regular price $45.00

This lovely looks like a mash up of bathing beauty and cloud-floating angel to me--just right I guess for expressing the simultaneous pleasure and agony of lovesickness. ("freudvoll, leidvoill, godankenvolsein, hangen und hangen in schwebenderpein" / joyful, sorrowful, grateful to God, hanging and hanging in suspended pain).  Seems to me a fun one for the bedside table (perhaps just the right tray for bedtime chocolates), and perhaps the perfect present for a teenage girl (or boy for that matter!) An apt resting place for an eye pillow, too.

5 5/16" X 5 5/16" X 3/4". Very good condition. Late 19th/very early 20th c.
