A charming glazed porcelain figurine of a great crested grebe, made by the German manufacturer Carl Scheidig in Gräfenthal, Thuringia.
This elegant depiction of a water bird is distinguished by its long pink beak, characteristic brown crest, and plumage in delicate shades of beige and ivory. The meticulous modeling highlights the fineness of the feathers and the bird's slender silhouette, while the glossy glaze subtly emphasizes the details of the plumage.
The piece bears a crowned "S" on its base, the mark associated with the Gräfenthal – Carl Scheidig factory, as well as an impressed model number.
A lovely collector's figurine that will appeal to lovers of German porcelain, animal subjects, and ornithology. It will find its place naturally in a display case or within a collection of antique porcelain.
Condition: excellent overall condition, without cracks or chips. Dimensions: 13 (H) x 15 (long) x 8 (width) cm
