EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Meissen figure of the Welsh Tailor, crafted in the late 19th to early 20th century. Created by renowned artist Johann Joachim KAandler, this porcelain sculpture stands at an impressive height of 24 cm and is part of a private collection. The figure portrays a seated tradesman with a mischievous sense of humor. With his tongue playfully sticking out, he confidently straddles a horned goat while brandishing his trusty scissors. A ruler peeks out from his pocket, showcasing his dedication to precision and craftsmanship. Two bottles of wine are placed before him, adding an element of merriment to the scene. What makes this piece truly unique is the bucket filled with adorable kids that rests on the tailor's back. This whimsical detail adds charm and character to an already lively composition. Adorned with vibrant hand-painted details and bearing the distinctive blue crossed swords mark associated with Meissen porcelain, this figurine exemplifies both artistic excellence and historical significance. With its humorous undertones and playful depiction of drunken revelry, this Meissen figure captures the essence of Georgian-era ornamentation.
