The sculpture is very rarely found in such a large size!

Excellent collectible condition. No visible damage, cracks, chips, microcracks, restorations, or manufacturing defects. The piece shows light crazing, which is typical for porcelain over time and serves as further proof of its authenticity and considerable age!

A very large piece. Height: 25 cm. Length: 32 cm.

The bottom of the piece bears the Józefów Poland mark.

An identical sculpture is held in the collection of the Silesian Museum in Katowice.
