BOY FIGURINE WITH POTTERY MARK DATED 1883

Hi Lisa

Although the coronet with an N mark is associated with the Capodimonte style from Italy, many Thuringian (a traditional ceramics manufacturing region of Germany) factories used the N with crown as their mark for export wares.

Use the search box to find many more articles and threads within this website on this topic.

Also through visitor submissions we have discovered there is a German company who make children figurines which bear a marked resemblance to your item. Apel & Leube began life in 1883 and were based in Lippelsdorf, Thuringia.

Maybe there is a connection as the 1883 date ties in and so does the Thuringian export mark of N and crown/coronet.
