About the Item

This rare and whimsical Antique German porcelain syrup pitcher is crafted in the form of a polar bear, embodying both charm and fine craftsmanship. The bear is depicted with a fierce and expressive face, adding character and a sense of animation to the piece. Its white porcelain body is delicately modeled, showcasing the naturalistic fur texture that reflects the skilled artistry of the period. The bear is shown gripping a cobalt blue honey spoon, which contrasts beautifully with its pristine white porcelain form and serves as a functional yet playful element of the design. This striking detail emphasizes the craftsmanship and originality of the piece, making it a standout item for collectors of figural ceramics. The underside bears a pseudo-Meissen crossed swords mark, suggesting that it was created in the style of the famous Meissen porcelain manufactory, renowned for its high-quality porcelain and elaborate designs. While not officially a Meissen product, the piece demonstrates the influence of Meissen's artistry on German porcelain makers of the late 19th to early 20th century. Measures: 7.875" h x 3.375" w x 6" d.
