Porcelain Indian Chief smoker or incense burner - Germany?

This piece is 3 5/8" to the top & is 2 7/8" by 2 3/8" across the bottom. I think the impressed number is 1628.

Any ideas as to the country of origin & when it was made.



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

Could be home hobbyist? Im not getting a particularly German vibe with that smooth base.

 

I think you are correct German, Bavarian or Austrian. Particularly with that type of stamped number. I'm going to guess 1920s-1930s.

I found 2 MIJ that were obviously copied from your mold, but do not have the finer details. Look at the facial details, the hands and head dress. Yours is porcelain, the ones I found are not.

Thanks Pat!!

 

Found one similar in my mothers home, did you ever find out more?? Hers is porcelain and stamped too.

 

Hi & welcome to the forum!!

I never did find out anything else. I listed it on eBay soon afterward & it sold for $15.50.

 

So I have two types of this. Incense Burner from Germany about 1925-35. Some of then have Germany and numbers and others have Germany numbers and the single world "Habro".
