Description
The statuette is 13 inches tall, and has a melancholy air about it’s body language. The head and face are turned to the statuette’s right, and is facing downward with a pensive expression. There do not appear to be any mold marks that would indicate this is a reproduction. The ceramic material appears to be bisque porcelain, and the figure does not have any sheen to its paint.
The figure is designed in 15th century dress. It bears a burgundy cape, white blouse, a white plumed collar, mint green waistcoat, red and yellow balloon breaches and burgundy pants over white stockings. The shoes are also fitting of the 15th century, and are black with a buckle across the top of the shoe.
The figure is standing on a pedestal with green, yellow and brown grass carved into it, and it bears a clear stamp upon the pedestal which reads “Baury”. The underside of the pedestal is marked with numbers that read either “71/14”, or “7/1/4” but it is unclear. There is also what appears to be either a “26” or a “95” carved in next to it. In red ink the numbers “208” have been marked clearly above the carved markings below.
It is uncertain if this piece is one of a kind, or if it is the last of a series that no longer exists.
Would love to have an idea of who this fancy fellow is and if he is actually antique or worth anything. Thank you.
