Meissen German Tall Teapot Coffee Pot Blue White Half Lace Crossed Swords 19thC

Description

Great old porcelain Meissen signed teapot or coffee pot. Bottom is signed with crossed swords. 11" tall to top of lid.  Purchased at auction and this was form an antique store with original tags readinb18thC Straw Flower pattern but I am not sure of the integrity of these tags. I think it is half lace. Overall good condition but there is some damage:  handle has been repaired and shows tiny chip near body of teapot and a hairline thin line crack from left to right. There are craze lines in many spots as well, see images. The rim has a crack, hairline, slightly separating about 3" length, this is to the right of the spout. Directly above the spout on the rim is a small fleck chip. Slightest browning on some craze lines on the side of teapot to the right of the spout. This sounds like a lot but the issues are somewhat minor based on age of the teapot. She's stunning!
