    Hello, I just bought a pair of porcelain figurine. They both have the BB mark on bottom.

    I check online and they could be ART NOUVEAU ART PORCELAIN FIGURAL. However the they typical style and topic seems different.
    Please check the attached photos. Any suggestion? IMG_4124.jpg IMG_4126.jpg IMG_4129.jpg IMG_4132.jpg IMG_4133.jpg ?

    Agreed, the topic, terra cotta finishing and BB sign seem identical. Thank you for the help.

    JMHO. doesn't come up to the normal Bloch quality; I guess it's post-1918 just after the war. from the model no. as well.

    Fid are you thinking it's not Bloch or just from a line more like terra cotta?

    it may be terra cotta. Bloch had several places of fabrication. normally for Jugendstil figures of good definiton they used ironstone, also known as siderolith.
    but I have the impression it may rather be due to the Great War when great parts of the specialised workforce were recruted.
