{"product_id":"rare-18th-century-german-porcelain-figures-rococo-style-pair","title":"Rare 18th Century German Porcelain Figures: Rococo Style Pair","description":"An extremely rare and sculpturally refined pair of late 18th-century German porcelain figures. Each figure is impressively large (up to 39 cm) and masterfully modelled with finely painted features, elaborate Rococo dress, and expressive posture - hallmarks of high-quality period production.                                                                                                                                                        Of particular interest is the mysterious provenance. The original factory mark has been intentionally removed, likely due to export requirements or commercial restrictions. In its place, an underglaze blue sign was applied - not recorded in any standard references, including Röntgen and Keramik-Marken-Lexikon. Abrasion to the surrounding glaze confirms the area was deliberately altered.                                                                                                                                  After thorough comparative research, the figures show strong stylistic links with leading German porcelain workshops of the era. The scrollwork bases, hand-applied numbering, and a firing crack on one base all suggest authentic 18th-century production.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition and Dimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\nGentleman: height 38 cm, width 19 cm, depth 15 cm, weight 2207 g.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition: small chip on cuff, minor wear to gilding, firing crack on the base.
