Description
6 1/2" (17 cm.) h. largest. Each is fine thick paste porcelain depicting a homey scene of mother and child, the largest portraying a mother seated on chair, a child clasping a cat seated on her lap, and young boy standing alongside as he teases a brown dog; along with a mother seated at a small table with bowl of porridge that she is trying to feed to a young toddler who, in turn, is feeding the dog at his feet; and a small vignette of a seated child tying a bonnet on her grey tabby cat. Each piece is richly painted to enhance the charming scene. Germany, mid-1800s.
