For sale is a fun figurine from the famous commedia
dell'arte series made by Meissen in the 20th century . This one here is
of Pantalone aka Pantaloon is one of the most important principal
characters of the Italian comedy - a greedy character from the high
society that signifies money in the commedia dell arte . The piece here
was originally modeled by the famous Kändler in the 18th century. Nicely
modeled as if walking on a base with some applied flowers as
decoration. He has a large
beard and is wearing a black skull cap, a long red cloak over his
superbly painted turquoise button down top, black short pants and
yellow slippers. Very nicely modeled and hand painted as one
would expect from the top maker. The figurine is in perfect condition
and is 6.125 inches tall, 3.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. The
figure is marked with the under glaze crossed swords mark underneath the
base as well as the usual impressed numbers as shown. First choice
off course. Germany 20thC Italienische Komödie vintage German
