Antique German Blanc de Chine Porcelain Figurine by KPM Royal Berlin
Beautiful blanc de chine figurine by Königliche Porzellan-Manufactur (KPM) or Royal Porcelain Factory Berlin. White glaze porcelain, 19th century. The figurine shows incredible detail, which is one of the most recognizable features of KPM creations. The girl's clothes, her body language and facial expressions, and even a stack of hay on which she sits - all these elements are executed with great precision. The unusual aspect of this piece is that the girl is holding pieces of food in both hands, and there are 'stains' of it on her hands, foot, and clothes, made with golden glaze. The bottom has the typical KLM underglaze blue scepter, and impressed letters W and C73. The figurine is in excellent condition. There are no chips or cracks, including the highly delicate clothing details. There is one small area of separation in the porcelain in the folds of the girl's clothes. Measurements: Height: 5.5" (14 cm). Width of the bottom: 3.4" (8.5 cm). Weight: 11 oz (308 gram) Königliche Porzel
