Large 19th C. Meissen Porcelain Figure, Pug Mother & Child w/ Gilt Bell Collar

Description

A Large 19th Century Meissen Porcelain Figure of a White Pug Mother and Child with Gilt Bells on a Blue Collar. This large model is very rare to find in this quality, condition, and size. The subject of the larger pug mother with her child is unusual to see with white fur. The child is nestled beneath her mothers belly and held tightly in her mothers embrace. The dogs are each beautifully hand-painted with an extraordinary amount of detail and life-likeness. The baby is looking to the right trying to get his mothers attention while the mother is looking upwards protecting her chid. The mother is also seen with a gorgeous blue hand-painted collar with 24k gilt bells attached to it. The flat porcelain bottom is marked with blue crossed swords mark with an unglazed base, representing the early stature of this piece. Germany, Circa: 1850
