SEE NEW INFO BELOW The listing is for a beautifully painted vintage/antique Meissen Porcelain Lion Cub figure. The Art Nouveau Figurine was originally designed by Rudolph Loehner - and is Meissen Model #274. It measures 4" tall, 5-1/2" long and almost 4" deep at the widest point.A very cute young cub with large paws, a sweet face and an elegant coat.The coloring and painting is exceptionally well done, there are no chips, it does have some crazing, the light crazing on... the cub can be seen with a magnifying glass, also some crazing across the base, and in a few places continues down the sides of the base- as many figurines this age have - you can get a good idea of this on the last three pictures and the one picture of the underside of the base.
Because of an eBayer's question I am adding more information to the listing - as follows:There are no chips or cracks, but as mentioned in the listing there is crazing. In some
places it is deeper and can be felt in the glaze with a finger nail - only a few of these stand out without examining the piece.
If you go to the last 4 pictures you can see what I mean - enlarged. I was not able to get a picture of the
one side before, but I surprisingly found the correct lighting this morning and was able to do so (so I thank you for your question) and have put a new picture (last one) on the listing to show the base on the right side of the cub better (right side, looking straight on).
There are lines of crazing on both sides that are deeper than others and go from the cub down the side of the base, but as you can see they do not continue on the underside. None of these deeper lines are lines that continue straight across -under the cub- to the other side.
The cub belonged to my mother (born in Berlin) and has been in our family for as long as I can remember.
