Offered in this sale is an antique Meissen porcelain figure of a boy playing a musical instrument that looks like bagpipes. I believe that this dates to the 19th century or perhaps earlier. It has a blue crossed swords mark on the base and an incised mark , impressed numbers and a small red painted mark which you can see illustrated in t...he 2nd image. It measures roughly 4 3/4" tall. The condition is good. There are three chips on one edge of the black tri corner hat and there appear to be a piece missing from the instrument that perhaps ran from the bottom of the piece he is holding in his right hand to the bottom of the piece in his left hand. Also there appears to be a small piece missing off the tip of the bag which is tucked against his left shoulder. I don't know the model so I am not able to say precisely might be missing, however, this is well worth having restored. Other than this there is no other damage or restoraion. Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail and the condition and do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions or would like additional images. I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This piece is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid.
