MEISSEN PORCELAIN FIGURE OF A LAPDOG GERMANY, MEISSEN, SECOND HALF

An expressive, one-piece porcelain figure of a lapdog, created at the Meissen manufactory in the second half of the 19th century. The small decorative dog is portrayed seated on its hind legs, with a tilted head, large protruding eyes, and richly modelled curls of fur. The coloration in white and reddish-brown tones accentuates the realistic texture and volume. The figure bears a sentimental and almost portrait-like character, designed to adorn the intimate interiors of bourgeois homes. This sculpture belongs to Meissens classical animal genre, inspired by the traditions of Johann Joachim Kändler. Marks: Blue crossed swords underglaze (Meissen), impressed model number 2880 on the base, moulding marks and kiln vent hole. Dimensions: 23 × 29 × 12 cm Condition: In good condition. No visible losses, with minor signs of age. Clear marks, preserved glaze. Provenance: From a private European collection. An original Meissen work, Germany, 19th century.
