About the Item

A superb and stylish German Rosenthal Art Deco porcelain figure of Enrico Caruso by renowned designer Thekla Harth-Altmann (1887-1998) and designed in 1913. The figure portrays the world acclaimed Italian Opera singer and Tenor Enrico Caruso (Italian, 1873-1921). He stands on an oval shaped pedestal base and wears a clown like costume with a large ruffled collar and simply decorated in white glazes with black highlights and buttons. He holds his arms crossed in front of him with his hands covered by the large sleeves and holds his head slightly forwards and is hand-painted in naturalistic colors. The base has a relief molded banner reading ENRICO CARUSO to the front edge and is impressed TH HARTH to the reverse. With printed green marks to the base the figure is numbered 299 and believed to date from around 1920. Provenance: from the private collection of a Lady. In excellent condition with light wear associated with age and use.
