"Biscuit Porcelain Sculpture "putti Playing With A Cow" Volkstedt, Late 19th Century"

A biscuit porcelain group depicting two putti playing with a cow.
Marked with crowned blue forks, under the glaze, from the German manufacturer Rudolstadt-Volkstedt.
Good overall condition, with a small chip on one finger and a firing flaw.
Late 19th/early 20th century.

Dimensions: H 17.5 x Base diameter: 13 cm.

This refined piece comes from the renowned Volkstedt factory, founded in 1762 in Rudolstadt, Thuringia (Germany).
This is the oldest porcelain factory in the region, renowned for the exceptional quality of its clay and the finesse of its sculptures.
Under the patronage of the Princes of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, the factory distinguished itself from the 18th century onwards with its creations inspired by the Baroque and Neoclassical styles, rivaling Meissen and Sèvres.

The sculpted group presented here perfectly illustrates this tradition: an unglazed porcelain biscuit with a matte, velvety surface, highlighting the purity of the material and the delicacy of the modeling. Biscuit is a prestigious technique, used for busts, figures, and genre scenes, reminiscent of the whiteness and softness of marble.
Volkstedt porcelain is distinguished by: a hard, exceptionally fine clay body, precise and elegant details, and a timeless aesthetic.
