<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 315616, member: 308"]It would certainly help to have the item in hand. As you've noted the weight alone can be a very important clue. If you ever do remove the paint please re-post her in the white. I have several very nice white Continental porcelain vases and figurines (mostly Rosenthal) so I am somewhat familiar with how beautiful the European white porcelain can be. I would suggest, though, that a European maker would have marked the item somehow on the bottom. The style of the hair and the hairband would indicate the earliest it could be is 1960's. By the 1960's I believe most European and English production was marked. I should have said that the above is just my own opinion. I, too, would be happy to be proven wrong (it wouldn't be the first time). And there may be others who see your post and disagree with me and evelyb30. Good luck with your research and Happy Holidays!</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
