Paire de figures en porcelaine blanche de Schwarzburger Werkstätten représentant un chasseur et une chasseuse, après 1912

A pair of Schwarzburger Werkstätten white figures of a hunter and huntress, after 1912


Modelled by Paul Scheurich, each in a hunting outfit with tricorn hat, he with a rifle slung over his shoulder, she holding the end of a rifle in her left hand, each on a stepped base, 26.2cm and 26.8cm high, impressed 'Schwarzburger Werkstätten/ für Porzellankunst' over a fox and model numbers U 42 and U 45, 1918 in blue to her (small chip to her hat) (2)

Footnotes

Three of Paul Scheurich's models were produced by the Schwarzburger Werkstätten für Porzellankunst under Max Adolf Pfeiffer: the huntress, the hunter and figure of a lady holding a lyre. The huntress, modelled in 1912, was the first of Scheurich's models to be produced in porcelain; he had initially had a trial piece made at the KPM Berlin manufactory at his own expense, but in the absence of any interest there it fell to Pfeiffer.

Other examples were exhibited at Meissen, Museum der Meissen Porzellan-Stiftung, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021; illustrated in Paul Scheurich - Porzellangestalter, Zeichner, Grafiker, 2022, p.21.
