1750's Summer Figurine

This is a figurine of Bacchus sitting on a base drinking wine and holding a bunch of grapes made by Meissen in about 1750. It is in great condition with some odd damage to the underside of the foot that is sticking out but it is glazed over so from the making. A few glaze flaws which aren't unusual during the early days of Meissen. This figurine represents one of the four seasons - summer. The figurine is well painted and not as colorful as the newer Meissen pieces which is probably why I like it so much. The bottom is flat and filled with only the air hole in it. Marked with the small blue crossed swords to the bottom back of the base. The piece is 5.25 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide and 3.75 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
