    Picked up about 50 porcelain figurines at auction last night. Most appear to be German and was wondering if anyone might be able to help me identify age and or perhaps maker. A few have maker's marks but many are unsigned. I will start with a couple before getting more pictures.

    1. Blue arrow mark on the base of these two. they measure 7 1/8" tall.

    2. Pair of toothpick or match holders, no signatures. they measure 5 7/8" tall.

    3. Man and woman with no markings, measure 7 7/8" tall.

    4. Children praying, measure 17 5/8" tall. marked Germany with a maker;s logo.

    Check the back sides of them. They'll sometimes have an impressed mark there rather than on the bottom. The arrow mark might be in Rontgen, but I don't have it handy.

    The only double headed arrow I find in Rontgen is Christian Nonne of Geisshubel, though the mark in Ronten has an initial in the middle. It is underglaze blue, so might be worth looking into. Nonne at one time operated Aelteste Voldstedter, and this is stylistically very similar to some of their stuff, so I think there's a reasonable chance.
