Vtg KUHN ZINN Pewter Figurine Ornament Hanging Market Viktualienmarkt German

Vintage, KUHN ZINN enamel painted, cast pewter wall relief picture or ornament with a Farmer's Market (Vikutalienmarkt) theme. Kuhn
Zinn was founded in 1960 and is the leader in the manufacture of artistic pewter items that are a local specialty to the German state of Bavaria. The company, located in Konigbronn bei Augsburg boasts a collection of over 2000 figurines in its "Little World of Pewter" as well as reliefs such as this one and other pewter items such as goblets and plates. Kuhn Zinn prides itself on using a food grade pewter alloy with no lead in all of its pieces. This charming ornament measures 4 3/4" (12cm) high and 4 1/4" (10.6cm) wide and weighs a hefty 3.9 oz (110g). There is a hanging chain that makes the whole thing an additional 3" (cm) higher or 3" hanging lower. The chain can be replaced with a velvet ribbon, leather or other decorative hanging material. This intricate scene includes a woman in traditional costume selling her wares under a striped market umbrella with a stand and scale surrounded by chickens and her baskets of vegetables, fruits and flowers ready to be packed in her hanging triangular paper bags. The ornament is in excellent condition and is full of intricate detail in both the molded metal as well as painted enamel work. The back is unpainted and bears the Kuhn mark. A wonderful reminder of the joys of summer and the slow life! Great addition to a collection or as a friendly accent.
