Antique 18thC St. Cloud Porcelain Cane Soft Paste Handle Porzellan Griff Stock

  
A cane handle made by St-Cloud during the first quarter of the 18th century. The handle is soft paste porcelain and nicely hand painted with the typical under glaze blue decoration with a flower on the top part. A typical pattern all around as well.

This cane handle is in great condition with some of the top clear coat glaze is worn from use but that is common on soft paste porcelain. There are some black marks on the top as well where the cane hit something dark and some of the dark color rubbed of onto the cane it seems. Should come clean if need be I would think.

In really good condition for other tops I have seen/owned. It is unmarked as far as I can see since it is attached but that is the norm anyway.

The handle is 2 inches tall and 1.25 inches in diameter. A rare little item from one of the best makers from the 18th century!

The cane part is in good condition with some minor scratches, the bottom metal has been flattened a bit from use and the leather strap that goes through the hole in the top is new. The metal around the whole and the metal that hold the porcelain top and the wooden cane together seems to be silver. The entire cane is about 35 inches long. If you like my goodies have a look at my other auctions for a lot more top maker pieces like KPM, Sevres and so on.
