Need help with hallmark and purpose of use?

Hi everyone
I spent hours searching but couldn't find anything about the makersmark of these 9.5 cm long and 10 cm wide (widest part) porcelain figurines.


The figurines attached to a miniatuur bord and a vase? hat is cut at the top. The vase is 2 cm in diameter and 5 cm high.

figurines are marked with incised?? T.S. or T.C or J.T or S.T. Germany and 94:and 53. And a black stampep nr 23.

 

The slanted slices in the cup items look like they are meant for place cards on a table. I also suspect the cups themselves are for small flower arrangements.

 

I thought so too. But because the cups at the back, the card must be quite tall to be able to see it.

 

Try putting a piece of cardboard into it to see how it might work.

 

Another possibility is a menu card.

 

You're right. Fits beter dan i thought

 

Just a quick bit of trivia, hallmarks are on metal to state purity (4k, sterling), on ceramics it's just a mark

 

Thank you for pointing it. I should have written makers mark instead of hallmark.
Moderators, would you please fix the error?

 

I would like to hear your opinions on possible age and the maker?
