<p>[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 54532, member: 106"]Is there a website anyone knows of that can help me to date this porcelain figurine? From what I have been able to research so far (and PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong), the impressed shield mark plus absence of an inked backstamp dates it from 1754 to 1894 ... and the hand inscribed (as opposed to stamped) numbers and letter, narrow the date to pre-1860. I have only seen one reference mentioning the hand scribed numbers -vs- stamped numbers, so I'm not even certain how accurate that statement is. Although there are books about collecting Nymphenburg, my local library has none. </p><p>Is anyone familiar with these pieces willing to shed some light on how I can narrow down the window of time in which this piece may have been made?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you</p><p>- Kat</p><p>[ATTACH=full]13927[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]13928[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
