A Schwarzburger Werkstätten figure of a hunter, pre-1933
Modelled by Paul Scheurich, wearing a yellow jacket, floral waistcoat, black tricorn and beige breeches, a rifle slung over his right shoulder, on a stepped base, 26.5cm high, impressed factory mark, impressed model number U 45 and 1916 in blue, incised Scheurich to reverse of base (minor restoration to tip of rifle)
Footnotes
The present model and its female counterpart were the first two models Scheurich produced in porcelain at the Schwarzbuger Werkstätten in 1912. In fact the female counterpart of a huntress was his first model to be created in porcelain at all. He had had it made as a sample at his own cost at the Berlin porcelain factory, who subsequently refused to buy the model. And so it ended up at the Schwarzbuger Werkstätten under the direction of Max Adolf Pfeiffer, who was looking for new young talent.
