Incredibly detailed and unusually painted nineteenth-century Volkstedt Dresden porcelain figurine of a couple, with three vases in the shape of a cherry tree in bloom. By Volkstedt Triebner, Ens & Eckert some time between 1877 and 1894.

Figurine depicts an 18th century style pastoral scene, with a cherubic boy and girl sitting under a tree in spring. The girl has two doves in her lap, and the boy and girl are moving to embrace while looking at the doves. The tree has detailed cherry blossoms. The three trunks are individual bud vases. The base is natural rather than stylized Rococo.

Painted in soft peach, brown, and gray colors with gold highlights. Not glazed. Figures are expertly painted, and flowers, clothes, tree trunks, hair, hands, feet, and faces have lovely details.

Bottom has the blue hayfork mark of Volkstedt Triebner, Ens & Eckert under a spot of glaze. Also stamped number 25 and has a number 8 drawn into the porcelain.

Measures 7 H x 6 W x 5 D inches. Weighs 1 lb 6.25 oz.

Right forearm of the boy and the tail of the left dove are missing, and some petals and leaves on the cherry blossoms on the right side of the figurine are broken off. Some dirt in the bottom of the middle vase. A minute brown spot on the boy’s left cheek. Otherwise in good condition. See images.
