Vienna Workshop / Wiener Werkstaetten Putto w/ Flowers Figurine

This is a figurine made by the Wiener Kunstkeramische Werkstätte around 1915. The figure is of a putto meant to represent autumn / fall. It is carrying a large vase filled with a bouquet made up of flowers, leaves and fruit with two birds sitting on top. A bit more fruit between its legs with another bird sitting on top. Nice dark green colored oval shaped base. I am unsure who the artist was that modeled the piece as it is pretty rare and I could not find the info. I did find two other examples both with damages/restored. Made at the height of the Art Nouveau / Jugendstil period and it fits in perfectly into this time. The figurine is marked on the bottom inside with their impressed mark WKKW mark, impressed model number 1565 and number 109 and A plus AUS which is the beginning of Austria which likely didn't impress peerfectly. The piece is 11.5 inches tall, 4.5 inches wide and about 6 inches deep. The piece is in great condition but does have the typical crazing to the white areas of the body as shown. A normal issue that one has to come to terms with on these pieces. A great looking and quite typical example for this maker. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $499
