Vase - Porcelain - in the shape of a boot
Small porcelain vase in the shape of a boot with a putto – Germany, late 19th – early 20th century
Delightful decorative vase in polychrome porcelain modeled in the shape of a Victorian boot in pink and lilac tones, embellished with the applied figure of a white putto in a pensive attitude. The relief decoration and the typically romantic color choice make it an ideal object for collectors of figurative porcelain.
Under the base there is a stylised blue mark, probably of German manufacture, inspired by 19th century marks (particularly Meissen-style), but attributable to production in the late 19th or early 20th century.
