Beautifully molded and hand painted in soft pink, turquoise, burgundy, green and floral colors, with gilt accents throughout the costume and ornate Rococo Revival base. The underside bears the characteristic  underglaze blue crossed-lines Sitzendorf factory mark used during the late 19th century , along with faint additional production markings. Approximate height: 4.5 inches. Condition:  Antique condition with age-related wear and damage. There is a significant chip/loss to the flower basket/cornucopia area beside the figure’s left hand, including loss around the upper edge/attachment area. Additional small chips/losses and wear are present around the cuff and base. Gilt decoration has areas of rubbing and loss. Minor surface wear and typical manufacturing imperfections are present. No obvious major cracks are visible. I do not see a clearly identifiable restoration, although the damaged area should be carefully reviewed in the photographs.
