Nymphenburg Porcelain Figurine after Franz Anton Bustelli later painted by Reginald Johnson

This delightful Late 20th Century Nymphenburg
Porcelain Figurine is fired in open hollow form, a
more than usually difficult task for the skilled
Potter, and it has been suggested to us that it is
one of a Limited Edition of such figurines which
were produced, "in the white" for the famous
London store Harrods. This particular piece was,
so we understand, purchased by the Late, greatly
admired Modeller and Decorator, Reginald Johnson,
who, following an illustrious career at Royal
Doulton, where he trained under Charles Noke, and
later at Paragon, where he rose to become Director
of Design, in later years had set up his own
Studio Pottery. Having thus acquired the piece in
it's undecorated state, Reg then proceeded, we
believe, to paint and fire the figurine in the
wonderful colorway in which it is now offered.
Signed upon the base in Reg Johnson's hand,
"Modelled by FRANZ ANTON BUSTELLI Nymphenburg
about 1755-60" "Painted by Studio Potter Reg
Johnson". A unique and highly desirable piece.
