£ 75.00
On offer is a remarkable and rare late 19th-century German porcelain figurine, believed to originate from the prestigious Volkstedt porcelain manufactory, dating circa 1880-1890. This exquisitely hand-painted figure stands out as a true testament to the superior craftsmanship of the renowned Thuringian region, famed for producing some of Europe’s finest porcelain since the 18th century.
Although unmarked, the style, quality, and decorative approach of this figurine are highly characteristic of Volkstedt, one of the oldest porcelain factories in Germany, established in 1760. Known for their meticulous attention to detail and delicate painting techniques, Volkstedt pieces are highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
This impressive figurine measures approximately 14.5 inches tall, making it a striking statement piece. The figure features a charming young man dressed in vibrant period attire, adorned with a floral-patterned jacket, lavender waistcoat, and matching cap, all beautifully hand-painted in soft pastel hues with intricate detail. The face is delicately rendered, capturing a gentle and lifelike expression typical of late 19th-century German porcelain artistry.
🖼️ Condition:
Overall, the figurine is in very good antique condition, especially considering its age and size. There is a small, discreet chip to the foot rim (as clearly shown in the images), which does not detract from the display value or overall beauty of the piece. The original paint and glaze are well-preserved, retaining their vibrant, time-softened tones.
