0 viewsSold for: £10
An antique German bisque porcelain nodder figure, crafted in the Chinoiserie style, likely dating from the late 19th to early 20th century. The figure is depicted seated cross-legged in ornate traditional attire, featuring an ivory-coloured robe decorated with extensive gold detailing and intricate raised white moriage beadwork. A large, pink fanned backdrop is positioned behind the head. The piece is designed with a separate, internal weighted head mechanism that allows for a nodding motion. No visible factory marks or model numbers are present. Height: 17 cm.
Condition report:
The nodding mechanism is intact and functional. There is a visible hairline crack located on the back underside rim of the base. Minor surface wear and some fading to the gilding are present, consistent with the age of the piece. A paper auction tag is currently attached to the right arm.
