KPM Cane Handle w/ Cane

This is a superb cane handle made by KPM which is attached to a cane. It is impossible to tell the age of it due to it not being painted. They made these in the 18th century and also 19th and probably even earlier on in the 20th century. I am pretty sure it is not 18th century since the porcelain is absolutely perfect without any flaws or imperfection so that leaves 19th 0r 20th century. I ahve no come across a blanc de chine version before but when they are painted it is usually of a veiled lady’s head with the body making the shape of the handle. The body has a relief design all over that makes this a very elegant cane handle! The porcelain is attached to a wooden cane with a brass sleeve fitting and the bottom end of the cane is some other type of material - feels a bit like horn from a cow but could be plastic. No idea if the cane is original or a later addition. Impossible to tell but it looks great together and is in great shape with a crack in the horn part at the bottom as shown. The pporcelain is in perfect condition. The porcelain part is 3 inches tall, 4.5 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. The entire cane is about 34 inches long. No mark can be seen but the porcelain handle was made by KPM. Please email me for more information or other pictures.

Price is $749
