Beautiful porcelain figurine of King Frederick the Great of Prussia. He is on horseback directing troops in battle. Colorful, well modeled and
decorated and trimmed with gold.
<p>Affectionately known as "Alter Fritz" (Old Fred). He wears his forest green uniform, red cloak and black tricorn hat and rides a Lipizzan stallion.
<p>The markings on the piece are confusing. There is a gold anchor at the back of the base behind the horse which may be a Royal Chelsea mark (not shown in photo). On the bottom is a crowned N?an imitation of Capo-di-Monte. Marks like these were used in Koppelsdorf and Rudolstadt. It is also stamped Germany in gold with G&C in an oval (see photo).<p>Circa 1900
<p>Measures 5-3/8 x 2-3/4 x 6-1/2 tall
<p>Very Good original condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs found.
<p>Please see our inventory for more porcelain from Thuringia, Saxony and Dresden. As well as antiques of all kinds.
