Julis Konrad Hentschel (1872 - 1907) A CHILD WITH A BOOK

Like the previous figurine (Child with a Doll) it has all four marks of the Meissen porcelain manufactory: in addition to the underglaze mark (blue crossed swords) and the stamped model number (U 149), there is also the painter’s color mark (64) on the bottom and a stamped mark indicating which piece from the mold it is—with the rule that the lower the number, the higher the quality of the piece—in this case, the 6th piece out of a total of 200.
