Cupids on Dolphin Figurine by Heinrich Schwabe for Meissen, 1890

About This Piece

Vintage Design

Very rare and loving porcelain figure group of the 19th century: Two cupids with a dolphin on a restless sea, one of the boys dressed only in cloths sitting on the animal's back and holding on to its raised tail fin, blowing into a snail horn which he holds to his mouth with the other hand, the second boy, crowned with a lily pad wreath, leaning sideways on the animal and holding on to its whiskers. The group is based on a round sea base with a gold rim. Heinrich SCHWABE (1847 - 1924) studied at the arts and crafts school in Nuremberg (Germany) and was a professor in Nuremberg from 1875 to 1907.
