Blackamoor Figurine

This is a figurine made by the Schwarzburger Werkstaetten around 1936 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. It is a blackmoor holding a cake in front of him. He is wearing a turban and is handpainted with a neat design in black, purple and gold. The piece is in great condition with the stem of the pear on top of the cake missing but the leaves are there and it is not easy to spot. The piece is the larger version being 11.5 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 6.75 inches long. He is marked with the impressed fox mark as well as U 182 underneath. Also the impressed stamp (be it lightly) stating Schwarzburger Werkstaetten fuer Porzellankunst. On the side of the base we find the artist name impressed - H. Meisel.
