A pair of cherubs, caught mid-performance and full of easy charm. The two sit side by side atop a wave-like Rococo cloud form — one lifting a side-blown concert flute to his lips, the other sounding a vertically held pipe — each modeled with the lively naturalism that defined the work of German sculptor Karl Tutter.
This figural group comes from the art department (Kunstabteilung) of Hutschenreuther, one of Bavaria's most respected porcelain houses. A luminous white glaze sets off crisp gilt accents, with gold touching the tips of the flutes and tracing the sweeping folds of the base.
It carries the impressed K. Tutter signature and the green Hutschenreuther Selb lion mark beneath. A sculptural, collectible object that brings a note of classical whimsy to a console, a bookshelf, or a styled vignette. In exceptional original condition.

A faint area of yellowing is visible beneath one foot of the taller cherub, perceptible only on very close inspection. A small loose particle can be heard moving inside the hollow base when the piece is handled; the exterior shows no corresponding damage, commonly a stray fragment left from the original firing. Minor shelf wear to the underside rim, consistent with age and display. less
