Statue of a girl

Hello again,

This one is also my mother's: a statue of about 30 cm in height. The only "mark" I could find is the 68 at the bottom. Any ideas? Thank you fot your time.

As Bev has done for you.
Please always enlarge your photos for us. Thank you both.

 

That's a cute dog in the background. Is it a Pug?

As for the piece in question, to my eye it looks like a Japanese figure in the style of a German or similar bisque.

 

It looks too well decorated and ornate to be Japanese to me. I think most likely continental but pretty much impossible to pin down to a specific maker. Most likely one of a pair.

Hi and WELCOME Johan!!! Lots to learn and share here!! We LOVE pictures too!!!!

 

The mark on the bottom and the white porcelain scream Germany at me, but beyond that I don't know. It's not antique, but she's been around a while. As for the dog, he's species Houndus Chowus, subspecies Feedus Pleasus.

 

I would guess continental - German or Austrian - based on how the bottom looks and those numbers. The Japanese did make figurines in this taste, but they were usually slip cast.

I think yours is significantly the nicer.

 

Been a while, but circumstances withheld me from answering earlier. I thank all of you for the great input!

 

Oh and the dog is a boxer. And he's still around at nearly thirteen!

 

Could this also be Jean Gille of Paris?

 

Got two of them now.
