Antique Porcelain Shepherd Couple Figurine Figure Porzellan Figur French German

Description

For sale is
a figurine of shepherd and shepherdess made by an unknown but high quality maker. It was sold at an auction as being Zurich porcelain but I doubt that and I bought it as Hoechst which it is definitely not. It could be a 19th century copy as well but the underside looks very different from any I have seen from France . So a bit of a mystery! The piece has some superb provenance being from the Paul Eisenbeiss collection which can be seen by the stickers underneath. The figurine is very well modeled with lots of superb detail and painted just as well. It is in great condition with a some restorations - The upper arm of the lady has been worked on, the left foot of the man as well, the shepherd's hook has been worked on, there is a filled firing crack underneath, a firing crack on her skirt and left knee and a hairline to her skirt. The figurine is quite heavy weighing 1074 grams. It is 7.125 inches tall, 6.25 inches wide and 5.5 inches deep. The base underneath is flat but seems like there is something hollow there with a small piece of porcelain roaming around. The figurine is not marked except for an incised Z66Z or something like that. It has the Pauls Eisenbeiss collection stickers underneath and that was one of the top collections. He knew his stuff! Sadly I am a bit lost so any help would be appreciated as always! 19thC Germany
