Antique German Bisque Porcelain Girl Figurine – 4.75″ Tall
£ 20.00
On offer is a delightful antique German bisque porcelain figurine of a seated girl, wearing an oversized bonnet and rendered in soft, hand-painted pastel tones. This charming piece, standing approximately 4.75 inches tall, is a fine example of early 20th-century European decorative porcelain—likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century, around 1890–1915.
The figure is unglazed bisque porcelain (biscuit porcelain), giving it a matte, velvety texture and fine detail. The child is shown in a playful pose with one finger to her lips and the other hand formed in a grip—possibly originally designed to hold a small parasol, flower, or accessory, as was common in these figural pieces.
This collectible figure showcases:
Rosy blush tones to the cheeks and limbs
Light lavender/pink sash wrapping behind the figure
Pale blonde hair and painted blue eyes
A large, flamboyant yellow bonnet, sculpted in exaggerated proportions for decorative charm
The base bears a faint painted red number or decorator’s mark, typical of German factories of the era such as Hertwig, Heubach, or Conta & Boehme—though unmarked beyond this, it aligns with their style and technique.
