Superb 19th C. Meissen Hand Painted Figural Group of 3 Cherubs Putti Spring
Regular price
$510.00
Presented is a very charming 19th century Meissen porcelain figural group, depicting three putti or cherubs draped in spring colors and picking grass or wheat. The figurine is exceptionally detailed and well executed, down to the delicately rendered hair of the putti and the rosy blush on their cheeks, and the realistic coloring of the naturalistic ground on which they are posed. The quality of the work and the level of detail are superb.
The underside is signed with the Meissen crossed swords mark in underglaze blue, as well as an impressed number115 and 2223, and a smaller written number 42.
This piece is in excellent overall condition, particularly for the age and material. The two figures with outstretched hands all have losses to the grass or plants they were originally holding, but the fingers/hands themselves are all intact. Otherwise there are no issues that I can see, no cracks, chips, breaks, or repairs.
The figurine measures about 3 3/4 by 2 3/4 by 3 5/8 inches, LxWxH.
