Sultan 1765 - 1775

This porcelain figurine, titled "Sultan" was created by the Fulda Pottery and Porcelain Manufactory in Germany between 1765 and 1775. It depicts a man dressed in elaborate Turkish garb, likely a reference to the Ottoman Empire which was a major power in Europe during the 18th century. The figure's vibrant colors and detailed clothing speak to the popularity of Turkish fashion and culture in Europe at the time. The figure, standing on a decorative base, is a fine example of the 18th-century German porcelain figurine tradition, showcasing the high quality of craftsmanship and artistry of the Fulda factory.
