For sale is a superb figurine made by Niderviller around
1800. It is of a boy playing the flute while leaning against a barrel on
top of a wheel barrow. Three containers to the front all on a typical
base with gold trim around the edge. I think this piece was meant as an
inkwell, a spillvase or match holder or something like that back in the
day. Not entirely sure of the function but it's a really nice piece! The
figurine is superbly modeled and hand painted in the typical fashion
for this maker. A solid and heavy piece for its size as they did not use
air holes during the firing process. The figure displays nicely but has
some damage. His flute has the tip missing, each handle of the wheel
barrow is broken off and I think there used to be a tap in the barrel
though I am not sure on that part. Some roughness to the bottom edge
from when it was made. As is the case with most of their figurines it is
unmarked. The figure is 4.75 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide and 4.875
inches deep. antique 18th 19th century French France Niderville statuette
