<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 5602, member: 67&quot;]Yes, this looks like an imitation Meissen mark, the hilt on the righthand sword looks wonky. The coloring on the skin just misses the mark but the hair is nice. The coloring on the flowers and gold is below Meissen standards. I believe this stuff was meant to be sold as Meissen. From 1850-1910, I would guess. I know that&#039;s a large range.</p><p><br /></p><p>People call them <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putto" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putto" rel="nofollow">Putti</a>, Angels, or Cherubs (Cherubim), but technically, Cherubim and Angels are heavenly beings who don&#039;t imitate adult humans or sit around necking. Cupid is a male god who is identified by a bow and arrow. But people looking for these types of figurines may use any of those terms in a search. I don&#039;t know if you could list this as Meissen, it is a crossed sword mark that may not be authentic Meissen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
