This lissome lovely in black stockings and showgirl
garb appears in my book and is attributed to Ernst Bohne Söhne. Of
the finest bisque and highest quality workmanship, she is 3.25 inches tall.
The treatment of her hair is very unusual, because the curls are applied
only in the front, and the back of her tresses are molded. Her eyes are
quite striking, the light blue iris set off by a dark blue edge.
Here is her mark, a crowned "N." However, this mark
was widely copied, appearing not only on pieces from other German factories,
but also figurines from Italy and Japan.
This beauty in a bonnet is
certainly the sister of the preceding figurine, the family resemblance including
the unusual applied curls in the front and the darker accent line around
her light brown irises. She is 3.25 inches high.
She is also marked, this time with an incised "B"
intersected by an outline of an anchor (I have darkened the mark with pencil
to make it stand out). This incised mark was also used by Ernst Bohne Söhne
and confirms that the first figurine with the crowned "N" mark
is most definitely from this factory.
This comely clown is another
from this desirable Ernst Bohne Söhne series. She carries the crowned
"N" mark in blue and is 3.5 inches tall.
