ITEM DESCRIPTION
Item Description
Up for your consideration is a fine late 18th C. hard-paste porcelain figure, likely German, c. 1780. The piece is large, measuring 13" tall, 4.5" wide, and weighs nearly 5 lbs. It is completely hand-painted, and in superb condition, free of chips, cracks, or damage other than some light wear/chipping to the upper portion of the bouquet (it is very hard to detect, and appears to be limited to a 1/16" tip of a single frond).
It appears to have been marked in the glaze at one time on the underside, and then the mark was meticulously removed some time ago. Because the mark was in the glaze, its removal required removing some of the white glaze, which was done in a small oval. As the pictures reveal, you can see what appears to be a Meissen-style crossed swords design. It was removed long ago, but likely many years after manufacture. Condition-wise, this is about as nice a piece of this size and vintage that you are likely to find.
