TWO MEISSEN PORCELAIN FIGURES AND A BERLIN FIGURE ALLEGORICAL OF 'EUROPE' CIRCA 1760-75

the first modelled as a young girl feeding chickens from her basket on a scroll-molded base, the second modelled as a putto emblematic of Spring and the Berlin figure modelled as a robed lady holding a golden orb and sceptre, the first with crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue and incised numerals, the Berlin figure with a sceptre mark in underglaze-blue.

The farmer girl: She has very minor chips to the edges of her headscarf; her fingers on both hands have very small chips; the tail of one of the chickens was broken and glued back. The putto: His right arm is completely restored; the restoration is old and flaking at places; he is probably missing flowers on his right hand; his left foot also has restoration possibly covering chips or small breaks. There is restoration and regilding to the bottom of the pedestal covering an approximate area of 3 inches; the overspray is concealing the exact nature of the damage. The goddess: Her cloak has restoration on the folded part on the left hand side.
