X-RARE Dressel Kister Porcelain Nude Figurine detachable bathing beauty at well
A Stunning Dressel Kister Full-Body Doll. I've never seen another. One of a kind Dressel Kister bathing beauty, from my long-time private collection. I've been collecting for close to 40 years and have never seen another. A one-time whimsical or experimental creation perhaps. The full body nude doll is detachable. She is secured to the well with antique original screw. A piece of green rippled glass fits neatly into the well. A beautifully imagined and designed work of art. Tall part of well / fountain is a vase; I added some dried heather. And a piece of lace draped over screw. The lovely forest bather reaches up to let her hair down while. The water to see her reflection.
Marked with Dressel Kister blue crosier, a small c. And impressed model number which looks to be 3995. Condition notes: Doll is excellent, remarkably, given her delicate position. Some tiny chips to applied ivy leaves; paint wear to water coming out of faucet/spout; gold wear to base. Screw is original; it was likely covered by drapery which is long gone, but an original bit of fabric and paper under her leg remain.
