Large Volkstedt Germany Porcelain Group - Grandmother Family Gathering

$2,495.00

Offered is this Antique German Dresden porcelain grouping by Volkstedt. This grouping captures a charming Rococo-era family scene: three children offer floral bouquets and garlands to their seated grandmother, while an elegantly dressed couple looks on. The figures are adorned in detailed 18th-century lace costumes. The sculpture rests on an ornate oval rocaille base, decorated with delicate flowers and gilded accents. Created in the early 20th century, it features a deep blue ink stamp of Volkstedt on the left end.

The figures are all good, and all fingers and appendages are intact. The are a few of the typical losses to some of the Dresden lace, which are all shown in the photos at the end. On the front, about 2/3 to the left is what appears to be a manufacturing defect 'crack', which has to be from when it was fired in the kiln (no porcelain that thick would crack that way after it was made). The images show it's filled in from the underside, or that's at least how it appears to me.

Measures approximately 21"W x 12"D x 15"H.

Will require professional packing at UPS, which is included in the listed shipping.
