About the Item
Poseidon or Neptune with hippocampus. Glazed porcelain. Europe, 19th century.
Enamelled porcelain figurine with a circular base, decorated with openwork elements and rococo-inspired motifs enhanced with golden touches, which presents a semi-nude, bearded male figure, standing, with a purple and white cloak, accompanied by a half-horse, half-fish monster. The character is the classical god Poseidon or Neptune, and the creature is known as a hippocampus. This type of work was common in several prominent porcelain factories throughout the 19th century, especially Meissen, but also Chelsea (whose brand is an anchor) or Samson, for example. ·
