Krister Kpm Waldenburg Porcelain Boy with Wheelbarrow Posy Holder, C. 1910

1900 - 1920
Description

An early 20th-century German porcelain figural posy holder modelled as a young boy pushing a wheelbarrow formed with four bud receptacles. The warm ivory-cream body is softly toned and decorated in pastel enamels with scattered floral sprigs and gentle pink edging. The modelling is refined, the movement natural, and the applied floral details carefully executed.

The underglaze blue KPM mark identifies production at the Krister factory in Waldenburg, Silesia. The firm deliberately adopted a mark visually related to that of the Berlin KPM, reflecting both ambition and confidence in quality. By the mid-19th century, Krister was already recognised as a major European manufacturer and received awards in Paris in 1852 and 1867.

A charming decorative object for refined interiors and a distinctive example of Silesian figural porcelain.

Dimensions:

Height 14.8 cm

Width 18 cm

Depth 7 cm

Weight 500 g

Condition:

Excellent antique condition. There is a very small, barely visible hairline crack on the base at the point where the wheelbarrow support meets the ground.

Please study the accompanying photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of this description. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them. The item will be shipped with full tracking and insurance.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A posy holder is a decorative ceramic vessel designed with small apertures or open compartments to display small floral arrangements or individual stems. Popularised during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, these pieces frequently featured figurative designs such as children, wheelbarrows, or animals.

These items were predominantly crafted from hard-paste porcelain or glazed earthenware, hand-painted with coloured enamels. Moulded details, delicate flower encrustations, and gilded highlights were routinely applied prior to kiln firing.

Authentic pieces generally feature impressed or underglaze stamped makers marks on the unglazed base, alongside specific mould numbers. Examination under ultraviolet light can reveal hidden repairs, while fine hand-painted details distinguish original work from modern reproductions.

Display the item on a mantelpiece, open bookshelf, or window sill alongside minimalist accessories to highlight its detailed form. It can be utilized for small fresh floral stems or left unadorned as a standalone decorative object.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry camel-hair brush to prevent dirt buildup in carved crevices. Avoid immersing the piece in water, especially if fine hairline cracks are present, and use mild soap on a damp microfibre cloth for targeted spot cleaning.
