Antique Porcelain Figurine Center Piece Bowl

Cherubs hold the porcelain bowl with an absolutely charming child with golden curls straddling the edge of this delightful center piece bowl. The curly haired child extends a musical horn to the heavens, toes dangle the leafy rim of the porcelain vase. The pastel blue garment is dotted with flowers, the porcelain fabric of clothing drapes beautifully as if it were real.

The pair of Cherubs rest against the lower half as if they are the figurehead on the bow of a ship, protecting from whatever may come. A green glazed leafy cabbage surrounds the center piece bowl. Beneath is a bisque finish. The beautiful curly haired blonde is partially bisque and partially glazed..

There are marks beneath. Etched into the porcelain before firing are the numbers "14196". There is a two part blue glazed hall mark which I could not confirm, a straight line next to an 'X'. I attribute the piece to Meissen in Germany. There were several smaller factories throughout Germany and Italy which used "X's" of a similar nature as well as Varages in France. If you recognize the mark, please by all means write me. I have looked in books and several well known web pages and still in question.

Size: 7-1/2" x 7-1/2"

Condition: Pristine. There is no crazing or other types of damage. It does have yellowing on the porcelain interior From Days Gone By.
