About the Item

A hand-painted porcelain figure of a young woman playing a hurdy-gurdy, mounted on an ornate base. Dating from the early 1900s, this piece beautifully captures the rural charm and festive European folk traditions. The woman wears a richly detailed traditional costume in magenta, gold, and cream tones, with a floral-patterned skirt and matching headscarf. Her expression is serene and lifelike, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship of fine European porcelain houses. The instrument she holds, a hurdy-gurdy, is a rare and historically significant detail, often associated with traveling musicians and regional fairs. The entire figure, including the base she stands on, is crafted in one piece. It rests atop a deep cobalt blue pedestal, hand-decorated with gilded scrolls and vibrant floral panels. Take into account that the colors on the items may vary depending on the type of lighting and the type of screen from which you see the images.
