Spring on Pedestal Figurine

This is a really nice figurine made by Nymphenburg in the mid 20th century. It comes from a series of the four seasons but this is the nicest version of them I think. It is of a the goddess Flora representing Spring . She has a floral garland across her shoulders, one of her breasts is exposed and her flowing gown is covering a little putto playing with marbles by her feet. The figure stands on a large pedestal that has musical instruments in relief on all four sides. It is a superbly modelled figurine and looks stunning! This is the blanc de chine version but I assume this also comes in a painted version though I have never seen it. I own Winter as well which I will list on the site next. The figurine is 10.75 inches tall and the base is 3 inches on all sides. It is in perfect condition which is amazing and I double checked the flowersjust to make sure. The piece is marked with the impressed shield mark to the front of the base right by her feet and underneath as well as the impressed numbers 28a over 3 and the CT monogram under a crown with the year 1960 under it which shows it was made in 1960 and from an old Frankenthal model. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $549
