Rosenthal Girl w/ Ducks

This is a porcelain figurine made by Rosenthal sometime before 1920. Cannot find this exact mark without any dots or lines which would date it before 1918 but then they usually have the iron cross mark with a year along with it which this one does not - so a little bit of a mystery. It was first designed by Albert Caasmann (the back of the base has his name on it though it is ahrd to see) around 1914 so it is from the original period which is always nice. The figure is of a young lady or gilr feeding the ducks. She is holding a bowl in her hands and there are two cute ducks following her and pecking at her dress to get some food. My favorite part is the superb dress she is wearing. Superbly modeled and painted in underglaze colors very much fitting into the Art Nouveau / Jugendstil period when she was made. The figurine is in perfect condition. She is marked underneath with the green Rosenthale mark with Selb - Bavaria underneath as shown in the pictures, impressed model number H 236 I think as well as an incised 22. The figurine is about 5.12 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide and 3.125 inches deep. Please email me for more information or photos.

Price is $249
