Pre-owned. I do not know if this is a true Dresden piece, but it does bare the mark. It is a very pretty pot, and was previously used for plants. I was unable to get the staining off at the inside top, but I did not try very hard. This came from an estate sale of a lot of German and Chinese china pieces and this was one that was in my budget. I have had it about 5 years and adore it but time for a change of scenery. This will be listed on multiple sites. The makers mark is Dresden and there is a hand painted number #535. The flowers are different types and greens, yellows, pinks, purples, orange and blues. Just very pretty floral design. The accents are in gold leaf, again do not know if real but I love this and it is very beautiful. Approx 6 inches at tallest point.
