Rooster Chicken Figurine

This is a really fun figurine made by Nymphenburg around the mid 20th century. It is of a male chicken aka rooster that was modeled by the famous Luise Terletzki-Scherf who made so many other fun animal models! This piece here is no different. A very playful piece with some flowers on the front base and lots of detail to the piece all around including the feathers in relief some of which have been painted black. The face has a bit of yellow, orange, red and black to it. One cannot help but be cheered up by her pieces! The figure is 5.75 inches tall, just under 2.125 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. The figurine is in perfect condition with a firing flaw in the largest feather as shown - a partial firing crack from when it was made. The figure is marked with the impressed artist initials in the back of the base, the impressed shield to the underside as well as the numbers 820 over 3 and the green shield mark under a crown with Nymphenburg underneath it as shown.

Price is $249
