Thun / Kloesterle Figurine

This is a really nice figurine made by Klösterle / Thun in the mid 19th century. The mark was used from 1839 until 1870. The company was started in 1794 by the order of Count F.J. Thun by Nicolaus Weber and the arcanist Sonntag. It changed hands a few times and is actually still around today. The figurine is unlike any other I could find in terms of quality and the fact that it is glazed. It's a really nice figure of a mother / lady feeding her baby. The lady is waering a fancy outfit - an interesting hat as well as a dress with the baby being wrapped in a ncie blanket. The spoon is easily identifiable though I am not sure what the white thing is in her other hand - possibly a tissue or wipe. There is a bowl standing on a column and the base is simple and flat with gold sprigs painted on it. A great looking figurine and not something you'll find again anytime soon by this maker! The figurine is 5.5 inches tall, 2.875 inches wide and 2.25 inches deep. It is in good condition with a touch of wear to the gilding, damage to the bow on top of her head and in the back of her head as well as a chip to the bowl on the column as shown. None of these are distracting and the piece displays very well! Marked with the impressed TK mark as well as the number 77 and an O or a zero as shown. Please email me for more information or photos.
