black blotches, embers trapped in the firing process artisan.

No, the black dots, not "ember" or what.
This is not a good sign, I agree, but only with hand-painted porcelain, with novokrase.

No, not so.
Here's how:
Spiess figurative composition height approx. 30 of 10 so long. polyube it unambiguously.
But if he is, this subject is not bought at the last 5 so long. and does not require bystrenko throw things and have confidence in its originality (provenance, such as iron), the examination is done in All-Russian Museum of decorative and folk art or "Kuskovo or in St. Petersburg (Pavlovsk, etc.) and exposed to view a large audience and sold to the highest bidder. Slowly, no tugging, is not that dill does not dry up and rot, and "Zhirkov, eventually gaining the crisis and the price of such items are not affected.
Here, somehow ...

And, better still, for me, everything is the same as Kirill said, but all this is carried out by experts one of the central western auctions, conducting Russian bid, which if previous experience of successful sales is much easier . -> Of course it takes a very high quality restoration. Moreover, the provenance "iron".
About the quality of porcelain: - "Since the beginning of 1870 .... with a few exceptions almost all the porcelain sculpture was carried out on models in August Spiess. At the IPE, came a general decline in the production of porcelain, marriage by firing up to 95%, the artistic level produced porcelain decreased. "
As for the stand I think that this is the stand for the figure as a whole. At the base of the vase must be provided for technological hole assembly fittings. No drilling is already baked and glazed porcelain.

Kirill, you may be right. Well it is not so, the fact is that the stand stylish, fits in the track and the tracks on the upper surface can be seen that the figure stood on the stand for a long time.
Again, thank you.
P.S. In the figure from the Museum of the Cossacks, is also visible crack in the ground.

Of course it takes a very high quality restoration.

Do not do anything. Sell well. The new buyer would do everything himself.
My advice.
