Figurine - Porcelain

Elegant white porcelain figurine representing a young flower seller, model 9702 “Blumenverkäuferin,” attributed to the famous German sculptor Heinz Schober for the Unterweissbacher Werkstätten für Porzellankunst.

This Blanc de Chine version, entirely in white glazed porcelain, highlights in particular the exceptional fineness of the modeling: numerous bouquets and flowers in relief, richly worked basket, hands and fingers delicately sculpted, face and hairstyle detailed, drapery of the clothing and substantial rocaille base.

The model number 9702 is molded in relief under the base.

A particularly decorative and refined piece, where the absence of polychromy allows the sculptural work of Heinz Schober to be fully appreciated.
