ITEM DESCRIPTION & DETAIL
****Note the old repair on right shoulder bow****
Remarkably large, scarce, and fully authentic 14-inch antique German bisque porcelain piano baby figurine. This impressive piece features a beautifully sculpted, chubby-cheeked toddler seated while holding a small cup. The figurine displays exquisite craftsmanship, featuring a beautifully expressive face with intaglio-style eyes, vibrant blue shoulder bows, and an ornate ruffled dress colored in a soft yellow and pink palette. The dress is intricately accented with hand-applied, textured gold enameled dots. Weighing nearly 9 pounds, the immense physical mass of this piece explicitly verifies its antique production pedigree. Unlike mid-century reproductions or modern resin pieces, this figurine boasts thick, hand-poured porcelain walls crafted to withstand early coal-fired kilns. The unglazed bottom features a large, characteristic central firing vent and the original stamped red serif catalog numbers.
CONDITION REPORT
**Overall Bisque:**
Very Good antique condition although she does need a professional cleaning as we have cleaned her but she had been sitting out for the better part of a century and accumulated dust and dirt does not come off in one cleaning especially in all the small crevices.
* **Paint & Enamel:**
The hand-painted facial features remain vivid and clean. The raised gold enameled dots on the dress ruffles are wonderfully intact with almost zero loss.
**Repair Note:**
There is an old, structurally sound, stable restoration spanning across the right shoulder bow loop. The adhesive has naturally aged over the decades and holds tightly flush with the original form. The repair is isolated strictly to the accessory ribbon loop and does not distract from the presentation of the main figure. Please study all high-resolution photographs carefully as they represent the final condition details.
