This eighteenth-century style German figurine depicts a winged cherub modelled in hard-paste porcelain with a bisque finish and hand-painted enamel decoration. The figure wears a light-blue frock coat detailed with gilt buttons and cuffs, holding a black tricorne hat with gold trim, and stands beside a naturalistic tree stump base adorned with green foliage accents. The rococo piece showcases elaborate sculptural detail in the curly powdered hair and feathered angel wings, finished with delicate gilding along the circular base rim. The figure measures 8.5 cm in height by 4.5 cm in width. Collectors display this porcelain piece on a bookshelf or within a cabinet as part of a traditional interior arrangement inspired by eighteenth-century European decorative arts.

FAQs

Meissen, established in Saxony in 1710, was the first European manufactory to produce hard-paste porcelain. During the 18th century, allegorical putti and cherubs dressed in contemporary aristocratic fashion became popular decorative subjects designed by master modellers such as Johann Joachim Kandler.

These figures were crafted from hard-paste porcelain composed of kaolin and petuntse, fired at high temperatures. They were subsequently hand-painted with overglaze enamel pigments and detailed with liquid gold gilding.

Authentic pieces generally feature the iconic crossed swords mark painted in cobalt blue under the glaze on the base. Collectors also inspect the fine modelling of hands and facial features, glaze quality, and incised model numbers.

Small porcelain figures add historical contrast when displayed inside glass vitrines, arranged alongside art books on a curated bookshelf, or positioned on a sideboard.

Dust delicate areas gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush to prevent snagging raised details. Avoid chemical solvents and do not submerge the piece in water, as moisture can compromise delicate cold-painted repairs or original gilding.
