Meissen Cupid's Mottos Porcelain Figure, Je Les Enflamme

This enchanting Meissen porcelain figure is part of the company's beloved "Cupid Mottos" or "Devise Children" series. This cupid lights a pier with his torch with the motto "Je les enflamme" ("I ignite them") inscribed on the base. Modeled by Meissen designer Michael Victor Acier, circa 1775, these charming figures have become an endearing part of Meissen's grand oeuvre.
