I would guess it's one of the four seasons. I think it lacks the finesse of Meissen. Another figurine of the same theme: [IMG]
Thank you.
Question is: how old? I was told once, but forgot. The mark is intertwined with the letter "L". As I recall, it's a late mark... after Imperial...
I don't know as you have much choice: either job lot to a dealer or sort through one at a time. You can always sort through, keep the cream, and...
It was an idle thought. You see numbers, you wonder what they mean.
You could try cutting the wire with a file... slow and steady.... back near that center twist. Does either of those impressed numbers look likely...

I bought this maybe 15 years ago and have only recently photographed it. It was badly damaged when I bought it, but a pretty thing none the less....
