Antique 18thC Hochst Porcelain Girl Picking Yellow Pears Figure Hochst

Description

For sale is
a figurine made by Höchst in the 18th century  probably about 1770. It is of a young girl who is holding a yellow pear in her left arm and on the right arm is a basket of pears.. She is standing on a typical green/brown base. The piece is modeled superbly with her wearing a nice dress painted with pinkish red  flowers, a yellow shirt with a red striped head scarf with a pink skirt.  The figurine is about  4 inches tall. Marked underneath with the blue wheel mark as shown. The figurine is in perfect condition except for the pear she is holding is reattached.  I bought this on ebay years ago and the seller didn't pack it well and it came broken off.  The pear is all there and has green painted over the crack to conceal it.
