German Figurines

Bramblefind · May 23, 2011

I'm cleaning out my barn and came across these. I think they came from my grandparents' estate. Can someone help me identify the mark? Label reads "Handgemalt" and store label from Erie, PA "Kuhn's". There are some numbers under the glaze for the goose girl I can see "1646" and then the label is in the way and the numbers on the girl with the cat and dogs is faint but I think "16346" - cat's tail is broken $:-\$ Around 4" tall.

Handgemalt means 'painted by hand'; probably post-WW II.

I looked a bit, but there are so many it made my head swim

Thanks very much Don for the info :icon_thumleft:

- I think I'll give this a little more time and work more on finding this myself before I bother the store staff with my puzzles

But I might just use that number.

Thanks Ken :icon_thumleft:

Thought I might have been onto something with the Sitzendorf Porcelain Manufactory. They use the S and made figurines but their S usually has a crown and it just doesn't seem to match... but maybe still could be...
