This porcelain figurine, titled "Harlequin," was created by the Fulda Pottery and Porcelain Manufactory in Germany between 1765 and 1775. The figure depicts a traditional harlequin, a stock character in Italian commedia dell'arte, dressed in a colorful diamond-patterned costume and holding a stick. The figure is a testament to the artistry and skill of the Fulda Manufactory, which was known for its production of high-quality porcelain figures. The figurine's playful expression and dynamic pose convey the energy and humor associated with the harlequin character, capturing the spirit of the popular 18th-century theatrical tradition.
