Vintage large 17 1/2" ceramic figurine from Germany, approximate 1880s, by Carl Schneider. This figurine of a woman / girl is 17 1/2" tall. She is wearing a large hat and carrying flowers. The figurine has the Unger, Schneider & Cie mark, which is a C with two arrows through it, and the letters DEP, and the model number 10548 and "GERMANY". 
PLEASE NOTE: There is a small crack at the bottom of the back of figurine (SEE PHOTO).
Otherwise excellent. Painted with gold accents, blond hair, beautiful face. This is larger than most of the Carl Schneider figurines.
