Hades w/ Hellhound Figurine

This is a figurine of Hades with his hellhound made by Nymphenburg in the earlier 20th century. From a series of gods that the famous Bustelli originally modeled in the 18th century. This piece being one of the rare ones! Hades modeled as a typical putto with a cloth thrown over his back while holding a stick in his left hand as if playing catch with the dog. Would be a mess since this dog has three heads and they'd all fight over the stick :) The figure is standing on a typical base for this maker. The piece is superbly modeled and left in the white to show off all that amazing detail. Blanc de Chine this was called a long time ago. A really nice looking figure and it is in perfect condition which is always a plus! The figurine is 4.125 inches tall, 3.25 inches wide and 3.25 inches deep. It is marked underneath with the impressed numbers 239 over 3 and the impressed shield mark as shown. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $599
