A beautifully modeled and painted porcelain figural group made by Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanmanufaktur, Rudolstadt, Germany, circa 1915. The scene is based on the 1774 engraving ‘Le Toilette' by Sigmund Freudenberger. A noblewoman is seated in a salon chair, reading quietly, while her maid adjusts her coiffure and applies cosmetics. Nearby, a gentleman visitor waits politely, his hat laid across his knees with gloves resting on top.The group is richly decorated in polychrome enamels and soft gilding. Each figure is dressed in finely detailed costumes adorned with porcelain lace — real fabric lace dipped in porcelain slip and fired to preserve its intricate openwork texture. This difficult and labor-intensive technique became a hallmark of Volkstedt's finest production. The base with Volkstedt crowned monogram, the factory's underglaze blue mark used c. 1915, confirming a production period.
Condition: The standing lady's head has been restored; the ladies' hands, where they meet the lace, have been very professionally repainted, visible only under magnification; a small piece of the gentleman's cane is broken off; minor expected lace losses. The gilding and painting are well preserved.

Dimensions: Height 22 cm, width 20 cm, depth 16 cm, weight 1,282 grams
