<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Solrighal, post: 81690, member: 1093&quot;]Hi folks. First off, great forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife&#039;s been given a small figurine as a gift and we&#039;re wondering what it is and how old it might be. I&#039;ve got to admit I&#039;m out of my depth with antiques in general and more specifically pottery.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s around 8&quot; (20cm) tall &amp; the predominant colours are pink &amp; green. It actually needs a good clean but probably not by me if it turns out to be what I think it might be.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mrk on the base resembles the crossed swords found on Meissen pieces but it&#039;s not exactly the same as I&#039;ve seen online so who knows?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s some pics for anyone to have a look at..</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i393/heyzorro/Antiques/P1030999_zpskyawhtfx.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i393/heyzorro/Antiques/P1030998_zps0jfkpaza.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i393/heyzorro/Antiques/P1040004_zps4a51uszs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i393/heyzorro/Antiques/P1040003_Snapseed_zpsavb25oln.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i393/heyzorro/Antiques/P1040002_Snapseed_zpseuipck7j.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Like I say, those marks are very close to the Meissen marks but I suppose it could be a fake. The person who gave it to my wife knows his stuff though so I&#039;m inclined to think it might be genuine.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance for any info you good people can provide and any tips on how to safely clean it would also be appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gordon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
