Magnificent Karl Tutter porcelain figurine, “Puto Auf Reh”, 1920s

We present this exceptional Karl Tutter porcelain figurine, an original work from the 1920s created for the prestigious German manufactory Hutschenreuther.
The “Puto Auf Reh” model, signed on the base by K. Tutter, depicts a mythological putto mounted on a young deer—a composition that reveals the sculptural mastery of the artist and the technical elegance of European porcelain during the first third of the 20th century.

The figure is crafted in high-quality white glazed porcelain, with hand-applied gilded details on the putto’s wings and on the molded accents of the base. The modeling is precise, especially in the childlike anatomy, the dynamism of the deer’s limbs, and the soft volumes so characteristic of the artist.

On the underside, the piece preserves the original Hutschenreuther Selb (Germany) stamp, along with the artistic-department mark. The circular base features decorative reliefs and a fine gilded rim, connecting this Karl Tutter porcelain figurine with the Central European ornamental tradition between late Jugendstil and early Art Deco.

This is a piece aimed at advanced collectors, interior designers, enthusiasts of early 20th-century German porcelain, and professionals seeking museum-quality decorative objects for residential or commercial projects. Its condition is excellent, showing only minimal wear consistent with its age.
