Old Lady Figural Bottle Stopper

This is a superb figural bottle stopper made by Meissen during the late 19th century. It is in the form of an older lady wearing a bonnet type hatwith a pink band to it and a nice blue collar with a dot design. The piece is nicely modeled and hand painted as only Meissen could. Look at all that detail in the face! Just a superb example. There are a few different models of these stopers out there and they are all great. Some are more fun than others but they are all really nicel I currently ahve three of them on the site. The porcelain head is connected to a cork which is still the original one! The cork has a decorative metal ring to the top that is golden in color - might be brass or gold plated or bronze - not sure. The cork looks original and doesn't look like it was ever used. It comes apart with a metal screw holding it all together. The porcelain head is in perfect condition as is the rest. The stopper is marked underneath with the faint crossed swords mark as well as some impressed numbers and a painter's mark 15. in red. The entire piece is 3.625 inches tall. The cork is just under 2 inches long and 0.875 inches in diameter. The head is 1.625 inches tall and 1.375 inches wide. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
