Bodies in glazed hard-paste porcelain; lavish ruffles in biscuit made by the French \"porcelain lace\" technique, where real fabric burns out in the kiln to leave delicate lace. Hand enamelling in a vivid Paris palette; rococo base with painterly ground and gilt scrolls. Marked underneath with an underglaze crossed-swords device with the letters, associated with Bourdois \u0026amp; Bloch; the porcelain body is likely Limoges with decoration in their Paris atelier. Collectible for its intact instrument (rare on such groups), crisp biscuit lace and professional facial detailing.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: loss to the little finger of the musician's right hand; minor losses to the biscuit lace. Otherwise excellent: enamels and gilding fresh, no chips or cracks. Guitar intact.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 580 g\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight 16.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth 12 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth 10.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
