Polychrome Egg Seller Figurine #2

This is a great figurine from the street seller series first modeled by Bustelli in 1758 and made by Nymphenburg in the early 20th century. She is known as Eiergretl in German and is of a nicely dressed lady selling eggs bending down to lift the moss covering her eggs in the crate beside her. This is the polychrome hand painted version which is much harder to find than the white one. Typical simple base for Nymphenburg which brings out the figurine perfectly! The modelling by Bustelli is unbeatable and even 250 years later they are still amazing to look at and still collected by many fans of his. The lady is nicely deressed in a black skirt with a white apron, a nicely done top with a pink band around the waiste and has her hair braided nicely. The piece is in great condition with the red bow on her left shoe being damaged but it's not obvious at all and she displays perfectly! The figure is marked on the front of the crate with an impressed shield mark as well as on the underside with another impressed shield mark plus the model number 550 over 0 and Germany in green. The figure is 6 inches tall, 3.875 inches wide and 3.75 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
