Is this piece valuable enough to insure separately?

Given the Meissen attribution and Victorian dating, this piece falls in the $1,200–$1,800 range. I’d recommend scheduling it on your homeowner’s policy with a current appraisal photo — which you already have from your scan.

There’s a maker’s mark on the bottom — crossed swords with a dot.

That confirms it’s a genuine Meissen piece. The dot between the swords places it specifically in their 1874–1900 production period. I’ve updated the item details. Updated
