It is in great condition with some odd damage to the underside of the foot that is sticking out but it is glazed over so from the making. A few glaze flaws which aren't unusual during the early days of Meissen. This figurine represents one of the four seasons - summer. The figurine is well painted and not as colorful as the newer Meissen pieces which is probably why I like it so much. The bottom is flat and filled with only the air hole in it. Marked with the small blue crossed swords to the bottom back of the base. The piece is 5.25 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide and 3.75 inches deep. A very nice piece that would make a great addition to any collection. Porzellan Porcelaine Paypal for international bidders only unless otherwise discussed. I will send a separate invoice via Paypal if needed. Shipping is 15 Dollars including insurance (Continental US). My shipping costs are all entered into Ebay and they are flat fees. I won't change them and if you don't like them - don't bid. Fairly simple really. Sometimes I gain most times I loose on them. I combine shipping as much as I can do safely. I ship airmail only and it should be pretty fast but sometimes it takes up to ten weeks and I have no control over that. Usually it is stuck in customs. I would like an email from the winning bidder within three days if at all possible! I ship internationally and like money orders and personal checks the best. It takes a bit longer but is a lot less costly to me. I pack very safely so no worries there! I can accept Paypal if need be as well. E-mail me with any questions or concerns. I also understand that more pictures might be helpful so just ask. I will write back for sure (but don't wait till last minute). Money back guarantee for valid reasons but items are not new and in some cases 200 years plus old so keep that in mind. I also have for auction some Meissen pieces , KPM , Nymphenburg , Sevres , Vienna , Dresden , and some English pieces like Worcester and Staffordshire , etc. Something for everyone - just have a peek at the other auctions. Thanks for taking the time to look at my stuff! Hope you enjoyed the show :) Place a Bid!
