This Rococo hard-paste porcelain figurine from the period of 1750 depicts a pair of lovers embracing on a tree stump above a base decorated with plastic flowers and leaves. The male figure wears black and brown knee breeches, a white shirt, and a sea green jacket, while the female figure is dressed in a white gown draped with a purple fabric patterned with floral designs and gold leaf detailing. The polychrome painted piece displays ornamental gilding along the garments and foliage, capturing a shepherd couple kissing. The dimensions measure 15 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 8 cm deep. Display this figurine on a mantelpiece in a traditional living room, study, or display cabinet to add a decorative historical accent to the interior space. The detailed craftsmanship highlights the romantic scene through the delicate hand-painted enamel colours and sculptural floral base. It integrates well within spaces designed with classic or antique decor themes, serving as a focal point on a flat surface.

FAQs

Eighteenth-century Rococo porcelain figurines are defined by asymmetrical scrolls, romantic subjects, pastel and polychrome enamelling, and theatrical postures typical of European factory productions like Meissen.

Meissen porcelain was created using hard-paste porcelain, comprising kaolin, feldspar, and quartz, which was fired at high temperatures before being hand-painted with mineral enamels and finished with gold leaf gilding.

Authentic 18th-century pieces generally feature the blue crossed swords mark underglaze, impressed model numbers, detailed hand-painting, and evidence of hand-carved porcelain press moulds.

Antique porcelain groups work well as focal points on display cabinets, mantelpieces, or bookshelves, contrasted against neutral backdrops or integrated into curated ceramic displays.

Dust gently with a dry, soft-bristled brush or microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals, immersion in water, or cleaning products that could strip gilding or cold-painted restorations.
