Biscuit Munich Beer Waitress Figurine

This is a nice and fairly hard to find figurine of a Munich waitress first modeled by Neureuther around 1850. This here is the unglazed / biscuit version and dates to the mid 19th century. The figure is nicely modeled with good detail- much better than the glazed version since the glaze just obscured some of the finer details. It is of a lady holding three beer tankards in her left hand and a bowl with a roated ham hock in her right hand. She is wearing a traditional outfit and has an interesting hairstyle with a funky head covering in the back. The figure is standing on a square base. The piece displays perfectly but if you look closely you see that her right arm was broken at the elbow and the bowl came clean off her body. Almost impossible to spot! The figurine is marked underneath with their impressed shield mark with the star above it from around 1850 as well as some impressed marks next to it as shown. The figure is 5.5 inches tall, 2.125 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $299
