Meissen-Style Figural Porcelain Statuette of a Young Boy with a Flower

This is a finely crafted polychrome porcelain figurine depicting a young boy in 18th-century Rococo-style attire, standing approximately 5 to 7 inches tall. He is rendered in a formal green frock coat with gilded accents over a white vest decorated with red floral sprigs and tan patterned breeches. In his right hand, he delicately holds a single orange flower, while his left hand rests at his side. The figure wears a wide-brimmed black hat over curly blonde hair and stands upon a circular rococo-style base adorned with encrusted ‘Dresden-style’ flowers including a central pink rose. The craftsmanship suggests a high-quality hard-paste porcelain, likely produced in the late 19th to early 20th century, following the tradition of Meissen or similar European manufacturers like Sitzendorf or Volkstedt. Notable features include the detailed hand-painted facial features and fine application of gold leaf on the coat's buttons and the base's scrolled edges. The condition appears to be excellent for its age, though slight abrasions to the gilding and potential minor chips to the delicate flower petals are common for this type of ceramic ware. The glaze is bright and lustrous, indicating well-preserved vitrification without significant crazing or restoration visible in the photograph.
