Edward Marshall Boehm Studios Nutcracker Porcelain Figurine

This is the underside of a bisque porcelain figurine produced by The Edward Marshall Boehm Studios part of the 'Classic Moments from Classical Ballet' series sponsored by The American Ballet Theater. The piece is specifically titled 'Nutcracker' and is a limited issue edition of 7,500. The construction features fine white unglazed bisque porcelain with a smooth matte finish characteristic of high-quality American art porcelain from the late 20th century. The backstamp is executed in black typeface and includes the official Boehm horse head logo with a signature emblem. The markings also note 'MADE IN U.S.A.' and the number '812'. The condition appears excellent with minimal shelf wear; there is a small yellowish adhesive residue or organic spot visible near the center which should be carefully cleaned to prevent permanent staining. The craftsmanship reflects the detailed casting and finishing techniques for which the Boehm studios were renowned in their Trenton, New Jersey facilities. This item represents a collaboration between a prestige porcelain manufacturer and a major cultural institution making it a significant piece for collectors of both ballet memorabilia and fine American porcelain art.
