This is a gorgeous Rare Antique figurine made by Johansen Roth for Meissen
It bears the Johansen Roth mark on the bottom.
The figure shows a nice cute little boy, probably miner seating on a cart with coals.
He has a nice hat and a pickaxe in his hand.
The figurine is approx. 5 1/2" tall and 3 3/4" by 2 3/4" at the base.
The figure is in good condition. It has an old repair on the back. There is a small damage on his thumb. On the bottom, there is a crack that looks more than a manufacturing defect during firing.
Please refer to the pictures, as they at part of the description
I have a similar matching figurine. (Please inquire)
Exceptional collector’s piece. Would have a place in any collection
Meissen is famous for the manufacture of porcelain, based on extensive local deposits of china clay (kaolin) and potter's clay (potter's earth).
Meissen porcelain was the first high-quality porcelain to be produced outside of China.
The first European porcelain was manufactured in Meissen in 1710, when the Royal Porcelain Factory was opened in the Albrechtsburg. In 1861, it was moved to the Triebisch river valley of Meissen, where the porcelain factory can still be found today.
