Asian Gentleman w/Fruit Basket Figurine

This is a figure of a Asian / Oriental gentleman made by Nymphenburg, from a Frankenthal model of the 18th century, in 1966. Nymphenburg made a whole series of these and they are really nice and one does not see them often at all, It is of a gentleman dressed in Oriental clothing holding reticulated basket filled with fruit and their leaves. I easpecially like his pointy hat. He is standing on a nicely done base with some gold scrolls to the edge. Off course based on an 18th century Frankenthal model hence the CT mark as well as the Nymphenburg mark. The figure is 5.25 inches tall, 2.25 inches wide and 2.375 inches deep. Marked with the impressed shield mark to the underside with the numbers 1176 over 6 c I think - a bit hard to make out. Plus the CT monogram under the crown as well as the year mark for 1966 in under glaze blue. The figurine is in perfect condition which is always a nice bonus! Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $599
