Description
The Cordey China Company, was founded in 1942 by the visionary Boleslaw Cybis. This exquisite figurine, standing at a majestic 14 inches, captures the essence of the Rococo period with its portrayal of Madame Du Barry.
Crafted with Cybis' proprietary porcelain recipe, known as "papka," this figurine is a testament to his innovative approach to the art form. What sets it apart is the meticulous detailing achieved by dipping actual lace material into papka, resulting in a truly unique and detailed touch.
Madame Du Barry comes to life with a high hairpiece adorned with delicate blue flowers, framing her gentle and beautiful face. She is dressed in a patterned blue bodice with pink lace accents overflowing in the front. Beneath, a light blue petticoat cascades in layers of lavender fabric and white lace trim, meticulously embroidered with flowers, blue blooms, and ribbons. Completing her attire are her matching patterned blue shoes.
