Lady with Child and Cupid. Porcelain. E. & A. Muller, Germany, 1895-1927. With markings and numbers on the base. On an oval base supported by scroll-shaped legs and adorned with pearls on the front, stand the three figures that comprise the piece. A lady with a diadem in her updo bends to hold a child; beside her, a cupid appears next to a basket. The base displays various numbers and letters (some incised, others written) both on the rim and the background. Also present in this area are the marks that would link the piece to the E.&A. Müller Porcelain Factory, located in Thuringia, Germany, which was founded in 1890 and produced numerous luxury pieces until it was incorporated into the Schönwald Porcelain Factory AG in 1927. It finally closed, after a series of changes, around 1938. The two marks seen here were used together from 1895. Weight: 0.4 kg.
