Antique bisque porcelain angel or cherub from Germany - 2 available and sold separately.
One angel has slightly more vivid, darker colours (hair and wings mostly). You can pick the one you want before checkout.
The one on the left with the darker colours has small stains and imperfections from the time of manufacture on the face.
The one on the right with lighter colours has a gap between the two lips and a blue paint mark on the back of the arm. It also has an imperfection or a dent on the face.
They both have small stains and discolouration from storage. The both seem to have small chips on the fingers.
There are small marks or dents. The surface is not completely smooth. That was done at the time of making.
Imperfections in the paint.
Both angels are marked 'Germany' at the back.
These were usually used on beaded wreaths or dioramas at the beginning of the 20th century. I have a wreath in my shop with a similar cherub in its centre.
The two cherubs have a small hole at the back so a ribbon could be inserted. They would make lovely Christmas tree ornaments for instance.
Height: approx. 14.4 cm / 5.51 inches. The cherubs are not perfectly identical.
Width approx. 8.7 cm / 3.14 inches.
Weight: 97 grams for the darker one, 72 grams for the lighter one.
The pictures are part of the description.
Thanks for visiting Cabinet de Merveilles!
