A Meissen large figure of a nodding pagoda late 19th century

modelled similar to the preceding example, faint crossed swords marks in underglaze-blue.

In good condition apart from: the figure's right hand is restored, possibly covering a small chip; the restoration is very well done. There is a small slice hip to the interior of his left sleeve, showing as a pinhead chip on the exterior and a minuscule chip to the edge of his cloak near his belly, which is difficult to detect.
