Mystery Antique Nymphenburg Porcelain Figure Of A Swordsman.
Artist: Nymphenburg
An antique, probably 18th-century, Nymphenburg porcelain figure of a swordsman. 17.5cm high.
Marks: Impressed shield mark, incised mark “bi” or “61” or “19” (see below), incised backwards “S” mark.
We are grateful to Nina Fassbender of the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory for her help in trying to identify this figure. She believes that it probably dates from the 18th century. However, there is an incised mark on the base that could be interpreted as “61”, There was a figure, first produced in 1901, with this number, titled “The Fencer” but ours is not the figure recorded with this name. It seems likely, therefore, that either this is an unknown 18th-century figure or, perhaps, an early trial for “The Fencer”, replaced by a different model when it went into production.
Condition: Excellent. No damage or losses. No restoration found under examination with ultraviolet light.
