Description from the seller
Magnificent pair of ancient porcelain figurines from German Dresden porcelain (Karl Thieme, Potschappel), rich in detail and with excellent modeling and hand-painted quality. The pieces depict pastoral/country figures in Rococo style.
The Fruit Vendor: Female figure with a yellow hat, salmon/orange bodice and skirt with delicately hand-painted floral patterns, holding a basket with grapes carved in relief.
The Flower Seller: Male figure in a dynamic pose, wearing a red coat and yellow-trimmed trousers, holding a basket full of polychrome flowers handcrafted with incredible delicacy.
Bases: Both figures rest on rocaille-shaped bases gilded in gold, adorned with relief floral and fruit appliqués.
Authenticity Marks: the bases bear the blue factory mark (crown over the "K" / Dresden mark) and catalog numbers incised in the paste ("792" and "546").
Technical Details
Manufacture: Karl Thieme (Potschappel, Dresden, Germany).
Era: Late 19th Century / Early 20th Century.
Material: Hand-painted polychrome porcelain with gold finishes.
Condition: Excellent overall condition. Porcelain intact, colors vibrant and gilding well preserved. (Note: Very tiny and imperceptible nicks on the petals of the flowers, something entirely common and expected in pieces this old with such fine details).
