Description from the seller
Art Deco porcelain figure 'Sonnenkind' by Karl Tutter – Exquisite original design from the 1930s
This impressive porcelain figure 'Sun Child', designed by the renowned sculptor Karl Tutter, is an outstanding example of the elegance and dynamism of Art Deco. The brand dates the piece to the 1940s to 1960s, while the original design was created as early as the 1930s – an era when Tutter developed his iconic, stylized, yet graceful forms.
The figure presents a floating-looking female form, whose expressive pose – with raised arms and a slightly tilted upper body – embodies the typical optimism and freedom aesthetic of Art Déco. She gracefully balances on a gilded sphere, which further emphasizes the themes of lightness and departure.
Made from high-quality, glossy porcelain, the 'Sonnenkind' impresses with exceptionally fine details: the elegantly modeled body line, harmonious proportions, and subtly crafted contours that reveal Tutter's masterful hand.
The condition of this figure is excellent – no fingers or other fragile parts are damaged, chipped, or glued, making this piece particularly valuable and sought after. A timeless collectible that impresses both aesthetically and historically, drawing the highest attention due to its iconic design.
