Bustelli Superb Girl Bust / Figurine

This is a bust of a child (Supposedly meant to show the sister of Friedrich August der Starke aka Frederick the Strong) modelled by Franz Anton Bustelli and made by Nymphenburg in the early 20th century. The figure is superbly modeled and left in the white to show off all that detail. I especially enjoy the flowers in her hair and the bow in the back! Left in the white to show off all that detail and it shows that Bustelli was by far the best designer of porcelain figures ever! It is marked on the front of the base just under the little openings with the impressed shield mark and again with the impressed shield mark to the underside along with with their green shield mark with a crown above and Nymphenburg underneath. The model numbers 929 over 0 is underneath which show it to be a nice early version of this model. The porcelain bust is 10.125 inches tall, 5.75 inches wide and 4.625 inches deep. The piece is in superb condition with the tiniest flea bit to the top outside edge of one of the tulip petals in her hair. Invisible unless you feel for it. It does not show at all when on display so she displays perfectly! The front of the base has three cut out holes and there are three in the back as well. It is a nice touch and helped with the firing process! I think she and her matching brother are the nicest busts in the porcelain world. Extremely well done and very elegant and decorative.
