    The subject is the ancient belief that the pelican is the most self-sacrificing of all parents, feeding its young with blood from its own breast.

    I found 2 others, both listed on eBay as Meissen, one saying c1860. Another site said that having an incised number next to the crossed swords (looks like F60 on this) is a good indicator.

    These 2 have had opinions on Meissen:

    It may be ornithologically vague, but the action it is engaged in says its the Pelican in its Piety.

    Can't find them now myself.

    Neither offered any additional information or I would have posted the links.

    That's one of the ones I found. As I recall, the other was a Google thumbnail that said eBay, but the link was dead.
