For offer is a rare porcelain figure of a Vintner produced by the German Limbach factory, often associated with the work of Gotthelf Greiner.

These figures are part of the genre of ''hardworking peasants'' or allegorical series popular in the 1770s-1780s
The attractive figure is standing holding a plate of grapes typically beside a tree stump.
The Limbach factory in Thuringia was known for producing less refined, more rustic, and colourful porcelain compared to Meissen, catering to a different market in the late 18th century.
Height: 14 cm

Condition. For an item nearly 250 years old the figure is generally in very good condition. The figure is lacking the tip of his left foot and there are some very minor losses to the grape foliage. Also a tiny 3 millimetre chip to the rim of his hat that is difficult to discern. No restoration.
