Blackamoor with Fish Figurine

This is a figurine made by the Schwarzburger Werkstaetten around 1931 when he was first designed. That means he is one of the rare original pieces. And also a very typical figurine for them in the style and coloration of the Art Nouveau period. One of a set of four which is a complete set for these! It is a blackmoor holding a fish platter in front of him and a jug in his other hand behind him. He is wearing a turban and is handpainted with a neat colorful design. Mostly green ground color with a fancy blue, gold and red design to it. The piece is in perfect condition except for a teeny chip to the backside of the ornament tip in his turban which doesn't take away from the piece at all! The piece is the smaller version being 7 inches tall, 2.25 inches wide and 4 inches long. He is marked with the underglaze blue fox mark as well as U 75 with a two enxt to it but very lightly and I assume there is a number missing. Also impressed on the base we find the artist initials HM impressed for Hugo Meisel. Underneath the platter is the impressed H. Meisel and the year 1931 . Also the impressed stamp (be it lightly) stating Schwarzburger Werkstaetten fuer Porzellankunst. In blue we have Made in Germany above glaze. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $1399
