Porcelain subject - General Gouvion Saint-Cyr - Kaiser, late 19th century

Fine hand-painted porcelain subject depicting General Gouvion Saint-Cyr, an important figure of the Napoleonic epic.

The base bears a blue underglaze mark "AK" surmounted by a crown, the signature of the Kaiser factory, active in Bavaria at the end of the 19th century.

Founded by August Alboth, this manufactory distinguished itself by producing high-quality porcelain for a discerning clientele, with an eye for detail and fine craftsmanship.

The term "Kaiser" refers directly to the German Empire founded in 1871, providing these creations with a historical context marked by imperial prestige.

This type of subject testifies to the 19th-century infatuation with great military figures, here elegantly treated in high-quality decorative porcelain.

Beautiful collector's piece, both historical and decorative.
