Cupid and Psyche Figurine

This is an amazing parian porcelain figurine made by KPM around 1911. I have not come across this model before and it is really very nice with tons of detail plus a great subject! Just google the tale of Cupid and Psyche (aka Amour and Psyche or Eros and Psyche) to get the whole scoop of this old myth. The figurine was left unglazed to show off all the tiny details normally hidden by the glaze! The piece is in great condition but there are some minor flaws which do not show on disply since they are in the back! The is a bit of a firing crack in the back of her neck and her hand on his neck which was filled in by KPM! The outside feather of his left wing was reglued very well or it is a hairline I cannot tell and the bottom of his bow is missing. None of tehse stand out and it is a superb piece of porcelain by a top maker! Nice size, too being 10.5 inches tall, 5.75 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. The figure is marked underneath with the blue scepter mark with a cut next to it (they probably missed) because of the firing cracks. Also an impressed letter K as the date code. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
