Description from the seller
Superb Figurative Mustard Pot in German Porcelain - The Shepherdess and Her Dog - Complete (3 pieces)
Circa 1900 - Edwardian era
Magnificent and rare figurative mustard pot (often called "Character Mustard Pot") in German porcelain from the Belle Époque period (circa 1900-1915).
This superb collectible piece depicts a young shepherdess or peasant in traditional dress. She wears a bright yellow cloak, pink gloves, a protective blue-lined hat, and a long violet and white checkered skirt. At her feet, on the side, there lies an adorable small grey sleeping dog.
It is a complete 3-piece model original:
The top part (lid): Representing the bust and head of the shepherdess.
The body of the object: Forming the skirt of the shepherdess and the condiment pot, with the dog sculpted on the base.
The original spoon: White porcelain, indispensable and intact.
The underside of the base bears the original engraved mark "4920" (model/mold number) as well as the provenance note "Germany" in cursive writing, typical of the prestigious Thuringian productions of that era (such as Goebel or Conte & Boehme).
Dimensions :
Height : 11 cm
Width : 6 cm
Exceptional condition / Showroom condition.
The object has probably never been used.
No chipping, no cracks, no restoration.
The hand-painted colors have remained remarkably fresh and vivid.
A piece of such quality and complete with its original spoon has become extremely difficult to find on today’s antique market.
Very careful shipping, ultra-protected (double boxing and abundant bubble wrap) with tracking and insurance.
