Snuff Lady or "Ratschkaetl" in White

This is the white version of the painted snuff lady I have on the site as well. She was made by Nymphenburg right when she was originally modeled around 1854. Very rare to find original models of Nymphenburg pieces. She is heavier than the newer versions and the basket handle is flatter. This figurine of a lady taking some snuff out of her snuff box and she is marked with the impressed shield mark from around 1850 without the star above it just like the one in the Nymphenburg book of the Baeuml collection. No impressed numbers were used then. She is 6.25 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 2 inches deep. The figure is in great condition with a chip to a piece that stuck out of her basket. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $899
