Antique beautiful pair of porcelain figurines of boy grape picker with a bag of grapes and girl flower with a basket. Both have been hand painted in enamel and decorated in finery with gilt highlights in Dresden at the factory of Helena Wolfsohn. These figurines have been made with exceptional care; their natural postures, facial expressions and beautiful clothes all speak of the highest level of master attention. The figures are dressed in traditional clothes, painted in vibrant colors and decorated with flowers patterns. The pieces are very finely hand-painted with excellent detailing, including the floral patterns and clear facial details. Both figurines with "Augustus Rex" stamp copied by Helena Wolfson.

Helena Wolfsohn was a successor of her father who runs a porcelain business under the name L. Meyer & Söhne. She was buying white porcelain mostly in Meissen and decorated it imitating style of the oldest Meissen pieces by Johann Gregorius Höroldt and Michel Victor Acier. The Helena Wolfsohn factory did not exist for a long period of time (1879-1883), so items from this manufactory are rare. At the Helena Wolfsohn factory the porcelain itself was not produced, all blanks were supplied directly from different manufactories. The blanks were painted, glazed and fired. Helena Wolfsohn specialised in Rococo porcelain painting.

Dimensions: height of figurines 11 cm.
