The first group of this theme was created by Kaendler in 1738 and consisted of shepherd and shepherdess. About 1750 they are produced more and more frequently, with outstanding modelers such as Meyer, Punct, Acier, etc. The pastoral figurines are especially remarkable for their spirited, richly moved compositions demonstrating the high point of the Rococo style in Meissen china in a downright perfect way. Beautiful example of the matchless quality of Meissen Porcelain Manufactory!I want you to have a great shopping experience, please feel free to contact me with your questions.
