    Could you please help me determine the age and mark on this figure?

    it is about 6” tall.

    thanks!

    Can you get a better picture of the mark? My books are put away, but I'm pretty sure that style of crown can be found in Rontgen.

    It looks like more than just an N. Looks like there may be an A and an F there as well.

    From the description of that clock:
    bisque figures representing Cupid and Love after the 18th Century Sèvres porcelain models of the French sculptor Boizot. On the left side Cupid is teaching to Love and on the right side Cupid is taught by Love. "La Lesson de l'Amour" and "La Lesson à L'Amour".

    Maybe a French maker?

    There is indeed a similar mark in Rontgen's for Oldest Volkstedt Porcelain Factory.

    Ran the mark through 3 filters that helps to sharpen and clarify a bit....all are similar with slightly different nuances, but look to support what @say_it_slowly pointed out! The LAST image shows a clearer print I think of a 'name' at the bottom of the mark! NOT A CLUE on the chicken scratch on the lower Right of the image:joyful:

    This is a Sevres piece, if you look at top part near her foot you will see the impressed Sevres mark. That bottom mark is mystery but I see clock maker that used these in his clocks. Perhaps it is the decorator mark or the clock makers?
