MEISSEN Chess Set, 19th/20th century, first-grade quality. Models by Johann Joachim Kaendler from the 1750s/60s, a square wooden drawer measuring 50 x 50 cm, which holds all 32 pieces, topped by a porcelain chessboard bearing the “Sword” mark from the late 20th century. The pieces are a hybrid of two variants, including a total of 12 pieces from the game originally titled “Turks vs. Moors”: two kings, two queens, each 7 cm tall, sword mark partially illegible on an unglazed base, four knights, each with a sword mark and model number 2859 (1 knight from the “Moors” is damaged); three pawns (1 with model number 2854 and a legible sword mark, the rest illegible) as well as a bishop from the “Turks” (sword mark faded, model number illegible), H 6 cm, each polychromatic, and 20 pieces from the “Column Game” chess set: two rooks each, H 6 cm (2 with black battlements and spires and 2 with white battlements and gilded spires), as well as 8 “pawns” with pink decoration (1 marked on the upper edge) and 8 “pawns” with blue and pink decoration (1 with minor damage), each bearing model number 1915 and a knob-shaped sword mark, H 5 cm. Used (gilding worn) and partially damaged.
