About

A glazed white porcelain figure of a winged putto balancing barefoot on a polished gilt sphere. The pose is dynamic and delicately modeled, with arms outstretched and one foot lifted in mid-motion. The base is square with gilt edging. Marked "Hutschenreuther - Selb Bavaria - Abteilung fur Kunst" next to the L.H.S Lion Emblem, and inscribed with gilt number 15 on the underside, indicating the production date between 1918-1939.

Founded in 1857 by Lorenz Hutschenreuther in Selb, Bavaria, the Hutschenreuther porcelain factory quickly rose to prominence for its high-quality craftsmanship and artistic innovation. As the son of Carolus Magnus Hutschenreuther of Hohenberg, Lorenz brought a legacy of porcelain-making into a new industrial age, combining traditional techniques with modern design. Around 1918, the factory established its renowned Abteilung für Kunst (Art Department), dedicated to limited-edition, artist-designed porcelain that reflected the aesthetics of Jugendstil and Art Deco. Known for its collaborations with prominent sculptors and painters, Hutschenreuther Selb became a key player in German art porcelain until its merger with Rosenthal in 1969, leaving behind a legacy celebrated in museums and private collections worldwide.
