NU Figurine

Hello everyone,

I just need to know more about this nu figurine. Its written at the back of the base 6539 and inside there is a crown drawn

Any of you know has come across any of these? is it of any value?

many thanks.

 

Didn't ask but... just wanted to make sure you knew this type of statue is usually referred to as "Water Bearer."

Debora

 

Hello, Hulya. For our English speaking members, I think the word you wanted is 'nude'? She's lovely. As Debora said, generically a water bearer. She may be copied from a figure in a fountain or may be the personification of a spring/source. We will do more looking.

 

Not the same, similar idea:

Lovely piece.
Time period late 1800s.
Whether she is English or German, I don't know. I can't see the crown mark you are referring to.

Beautiful face, so a good quality piece.

 

Hulya, are the irises of her eyes colored in?

 

Thanks INH. I still can't see it well.

Wonder if a little cinnamon rubbed in and lightly dusted off would make it show better.

 

Thank you very much all your help )
