Rare Antique Nymphenburg Porcelain Goat Figure Figurine Porzellan Ziege Figur
Posted by admin On June 20, 2023
A rare figurine of a goat made by Nymphenburg during the early to mid 20th century. Not sure what kind of goat it is as I cannot find another and it’s not even in my books which is unusual. The figure is superbly modeled with lots of detail and is hand painted to perfection as one expects from this maker. I think Nymphenburg makes the best animal figurines in the porcelain world. The piece is about 3.625 inches tall, 2.75 inches deep and 5 inches long. The piece is marked with the impressed shield mark underneath with the impressed numbers 618 over 8. The piece is in perfect condition with a couple of tiny black firing spots sometimes seen on their animal figures. Ziegenfigur German Germany 20thC. If you like my goodies have a look at my other auctions for a lot more top maker pieces like Worcester, Derby and so on. Photos are part of the description – if you need others just let me know exactly what you are looking for and I’ll take care of it speedily!

Very rare porcelain sculpture of Lorelei (Loreley), Royal Dux, early 20th centur
Posted by admin On June 19, 2023
An extremely rare porcelain sculpture from the early years of the Royal Dux factory. From the founding of the factory until 1938, 12,000 different models were made. This sculpture, stamped on the bottom with the number 255, is an early Dux Royal sculpture particularly appreciated by collectors. The factory, founded by model-drawer Eduard Eichler, was named “Royal Dux” in 1898. The famous pink triangle with an “E” in the middle appeared for the first time in 1900. The figurine represents a mythical girl from German folklore – Lorele. And if in some Royal Dux figures we notice average quality of a mass market product, this sculpture was clearly made to attract the attention of the most sophisticated connoisseurs. It is with works such as this one that Royal Dux has earned its place among the best porcelain factories in the world. The face of this figurine truly captures the seductive allure of the sorceress of the Lorelei legend. There is a slight, hardly noticeable thickening of the left forearm, but it is possibly due to the manufacturing proceas. No damage, chips or cracks. Even the flowers on the base are in good condition. Weight of the figurine 1200 grams.
