Found a 5″ bisque figure of girl playing bass drum & cymbal. 31/2′ wide, opening on back top part of drum (for flowers?.
Name/numbers on bottom: uppercase,stylized G? (C or Q)then 1/2 size smaller a D or O then s then p and the numbers 8320. About 1/2 inch to the right is what looks like a number 9 or most of an 8.
I’d sure appreciate any help figuring this out. Thanks all.
Sounds like you are trying to describe a mark originally used by the [b]Porzellanfabrik Unger, Schneider & Cie.[/b] from Graefenthal in Thuringia, Germany.
It’s a capital ‘G’ with two vertical lines going through it; that is mostly accompanied by a small ‘Dep.’ (“deponirt” = registered).
Note that these figures (normally from between 1875 and 1880) were later (during the 1960s) massively reproduced 1:1 by one of the successor companies, the [i]VEB Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal[/i], hence seeking expert ‘hands on’ opinion on true age is advised.
