<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Thomas Huffman, post: 2414138, member: 15675&quot;]Trying to determine if this piece (Europa and The Bull) is Italian or German. It&#039;s been sold by a few auction companies before it made it&#039;s way to me as a gift. One identified it as Capodimonte and another as Volkstedt. The maker&#039;s mark looks a lot like Capodimonte from the 19th century. However, I&#039;ve also seen it suggested that Carl Thieme used this mark in Germany in the late 19th to early 20th century. The only reference to a Thieme mark like this (that I can find) indicates it wasn&#039;t used by the company until 1957. This piece feels older than that. All that being said, this is almost identical to a Ludwigsburg piece of the same period. (I know it&#039;s not Ludwigsburg.) Anyone have any thoughts on where this piece was made and by whom? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
