You are looking at a wonderful pair of bisque figurines depicting Cinderella and her Prince. They are almost 9" tall. The bisque is smooth, but has a heavy weight, with a base approximately 3 3/4" in diameter. They are marked with a blue mark, looking somewhat like a Meissen crossed sword, but not exactly. I welcome any information on the meaning of this mark. (see photo). What I am sure about is the fact that these are genuine, early, and artistically decorated with the same skill and attention to detail of high quality factories of this time period. Cinderella is a demure young lady, with a beautiful peasant dress, blue and gold guilded jacket laced in gold, high white lace collar, lavender bustle and puff sleeves. Her skirt has yellow and blue stripes with raised dots and blue flowers pattern. Her apron is decorated with rows of raised gold dots, and hand painted pink roses. She wears purple slippers. She is standing in front of a brown chair, with an empty plate, a knife, carrots and some other unknown items on the ground. Her left finger is up to her shy mouth. She has a pale pink complexion, blue intagio eyes, rouged cheeks and red line detail above her eyes. She has blonde curls and a wonderful bonnet in lavender-pink, white with blue ribbons and trimmed in gold. The base is painted with part ground, part grass. Underneath the base is an imperfection of sorts. It is a slight indentation which could have been in the making, as it is only on the width of the base, but does not effect the front of the base and is not visible when looking at the figurine standing. What an adorable young Prince! He has curly blonde hair, wearing a pink cap with a gold decoration. His face is artistically done with blue intaglio eyes, rouged cheeks, and a red line detail above his eyes. He is wearing a blue, gold guilded coat, pale yellow bloomers, adorned with raised dots, and gold dotted stripes. His shirt is also decorated with gold dots, as well as his pink tights. He has blue shoes. On the base are assorted vegetables, including carrots, melon?, asparagus? and a water urn. The Prince is presenting a red shoe on a slipper of lavender-pink, gold tassles. Finally, condition...other than the slight flake on the base of Cinderella, which may have been in the making, t are no cracks, flakes, repairs, chips, repaints, touch-ups, or any other fingers, flowers, details etc. missing. If you have any other questions, or need additional photos, please email me. Thanks for looking.
