Porcelain marks

10 years ago

Trying to identify the maker, (or any information!) on 4 possibly porcelain figurines for my mom. They look French(?), and are old. They have a mark that looks like a crown with a dot over it, and are also numbered, stamped into the bottom, and signed. Does anyone out there know who made them? Thanks:)

Here is a link that might be useful:

Looks like Hummel marks to me. I don't have time right now to go look it up, but this might help send you in the right direction. mfrog

It is a Hummel trademark used from 1935-49, but the numbers aren't matching up for those years. That's a red flag. You say they are signed.....what does the signature say? Are you referring to the letters O and F? I'm no expert on Hummel, even though I have a few pieces. As mfrog says she pointed you in the right direction but you need to authenticate it since they are highly knocked off.
