A Ludwigsburg porcelain figure emblematic of Winter, c.1765, blue crowed interlaced C mark, incised mark, modelled by Joseph Nees, wearing a turban and fur-lined green cloak, his right hand in a muff, standing on a gilt-edged scroll-moulded mound base, 13cm high Provenance: Works of Art from the Schroder Collection. Note: A similar model is illustrated by Hans Dieter Flach, “Ludwigsburger Porzellan”, Stuttgart, 1997, p. 528, no. 175.
There are some losses to the red ribbons of his muff and to the ribbons tying his hair. There is a larger chip to the edge of the mound base at the front, but it is not noticeable at first because it is to a scroll (this chip is approximately 3mm. x 6mm.). There is a minute chip to the hem of his cloak at the back – this is very minor. The rest of the figure is in good condition.
