Antique Dresden Porcelain Gentleman Tape Measure * Germany * Circa 1890s
Tape28 Antique Dresden Porcelain Gentleman Tape Measure Germany* Circa 1890s This very unusual antique tape measure is made of porcelain and is in the form of a gentleman in 18th century dress. The stiffened lace he is decorated with is a Dresden trademark. He's completely hand painted and is beautifully done. On the back he is marked"Daysun" and Foreign. The Foreign mark indicates it was imported into England in the late 1890s. I think"Daysun" may refer to the gentleman being a dandy. The woven cloth tape(original) is marked in inches and is complete. It snaps back in when released and goes right back in except for the last 1/4" or so. The condition is excellent with no chips. Cracks or loss. He measures 5" high. One is shown on p. 40 of Collecting Figural Tape Measures by Arbittier& Morphy but theirs ... moredoesn't have the lace.
