    Hello, it's me, I was wondering if all this time you could help me again :p

    Found this little beauty. I can read Austria of course and I tried to find all over the internet, but wasn't my day. Maybe someone recognizes the maker? :)

    Thanks in advance!
    Erik

    I think it says Thomasch. I found some information that I hope is correct.

    Mark easier to read example:

    Thomasch!
    Wilhelm Thomasch (1892 - 1964) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, among others. After the first years of working in a ceramics company in Pazikow (Poland), he returned to Vienna and began his career at the famous ceramics company Goldscheider. There, some artistically valuable ceramic sculptures by Wilhelm Thomasch were mass-produced and marketed worldwide.
    Together with his wife, Wilhelm Thomasch acquired the Slovak pottery and pottery workshop in Sierndorf, where he continued to produce art ceramics. The ceramic manufactory Thomasch employed up to 60 people and was also very successful internationally. The Thomasch Ceramics Museum presents the life and work of this successful artist.

    It is very cute! The white ears and bunched up forelock almost look like a bow on its head!

    Just a little more on the company for possible dating purposes.


    "Wilhelm Thomasch died in Sierndorf on December 15, 1964. His wife Anna, son Herwig and Franz Wöginger (brother of Mrs. Anna Thomasch) continued to run the business. Mrs. Thomasch died in 1968. The business was closed in 1969."
