Gardener Figurine with Roses

This is a figurine of a rose gardener made by Meissen in the 20th century. He is wearing a blue and yellow cloth with a touch of gold along the edges while digging in the ground with a spade, a rake by his side and a tree trunk behind him that has a few leaves to it. Two roses planted in wooden planters to his other side with a nice base with scrolls highlighted with gilding. Some flowers / greenery on the base as well. All in all a really nice looking figurine - very well modeled and hand painted superbly with lots of nice detail. The figurine displays nicely but the tree behind the putto has a lot of its leaves broken off. Not obvious since it is in the back. The roses are in superb condition with only one leaf being damaged. Most are in much worse shape so this one here looks great. The figurine is 4.625 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and 2.75 inches deep. It is marked with the crossed swords mark underneath the base as well as the usual impressed / incised numbers and letters of the period as shown. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $399
