A Frankenthal figure of an alchemist or pharmacist c.1775

A Frankenthal figure of an alchemist or pharmacist c.1775, modelled by K G Lück, holding a phial or small bottle aloft and with a book tucked beneath his left arm, wearing a long curled wig, blue crowned CT monogram, 14cm.

Cf. F.H. Hofmann, Frankenthaler Porzellan Münich, Vol. II, pl. 108, no. 448. Hofmann attributes this figure as being a theatrical figure, although a scientific influence seems more likely.
