[QUOTE="kellaurm, post: 383027, member: 3129"]I actually found something similar. With a search of Sitzendorf and 214. I found this old listing. Similar to mine, but done in colour and slightly better faces. One of mine appears to be oriental. Anyhow this is what the original listing said: "Here we have a truly STUNNING pair of VERY RARE porcelain candlesticks. These show off the sense of humour of the day and have a magnificently amusing subject matter. Each figure is of a harlequin playing a musical instrument, however each musical instrument is an animal! One is playing the 'CAT' fiddle and the other is playing a 'PUG' hurdy gurdy! They each have a blue hash mark to the base of Sitzendorf, late 19th century. They both also have impressed numbers to the base '214'. These harlequin style figures were high end items and Meissen examples sell for many thousands."
