Lady w/Flower Basket on her Head Figurine

This is a nice figurine of a lady with lots of flowers made by Meissen in about 1750. She has a cloIh tied together at the top like a care package filled with flower that I am calling a flower basket over her head that she is holding with both hands, is wearing a really nice colorful outfit with gorgeous flowers painted on the yellow skirt part, has more applied flowers filling her apron and is standing on a typical base with gilded scrolls around the edge and more applied flowers and leaves to the top. It's a really nice model that is superbly modeled and hand painted to perfection. The figurine displays perfectly but she has had some work done to a few fingers on her hands and some flowers and elaves by the feel of it. Done to such a high degree that I cannot tell what but it is not a whole lot just smaller parts by the look of it. And I think there is a chance she was broken through the waist but again the work is perfect and I am only going by the feel of the surface which is slightly smoother and warmer. By looking at the piece it is impossible to see any of this! One of the best repair jobs I have come across! The figure is 5.25 inches tall, 2.625 inches wide and just over 2 inches deep. The piece is marked with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark to the back of the base as shown. A bit faint but it is there! Underside looks typical for the early pieces. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $399
