💎 Description:
Offered is a rare vintage porcelain child figurine with a basket, made in Germany in the late 19th to early 20th century. The piece is crafted from biscuit porcelain and decorated with a characteristic spongeware finish in soft pink and white tones, typical of German decorative porcelain of this period.
The composition depicts a child dressed in period attire, with finely modeled facial features and carefully executed pastel decoration. Next to the figure is a woven-style basket integrated into the base, designed for use as a toothpick holder, making the piece both decorative and functional.
The figurine demonstrates a high level of hand craftsmanship, balanced proportions, and strong vintage character. The condition is exceptional for its age, with intact glaze and well-preserved decoration. Such pieces are becoming increasingly difficult to find on the market, especially in this state of preservation, making it a valuable addition to any collection of German porcelain.
