Art Nouveau Porcelain Figurine by Ernst Wahliss, Vienna, c. 1897
This exceptional porcelain figurine by renowned Austrian ceramicist Ernst Wahliss is a striking example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship and design from approximately 1897. It features a gracefully posed woman draped in flowing garments, accentuated by an elegantly sculpted scarf cascading around her.
Remarkably well-preserved, this piece retains delicate details such as finely sculpted fingers, intricate folds of the scarf, and porcelain flowers decorating her shoes—elements often vulnerable to damage.
The original enamel finish remains vibrant, enhancing the beauty of this rare sculpture. Marked underneath with a blue crown mark reading ''Depose/EW/Turn Wien/Made in Austria,'' confirming its late 19th-century origin.
