Can anyone ID the factory of this piece. It is about 200mm, 8" high.
There is an impressed mark but very unclear, third image is best I could get it to show.
Any idea of value would be appreciated as I have had it for 20+ years and no longer follow prices. I presume these type of pieces are still popular.

Hi Frank, and Welcome. :cheerleader: :cheerleader:
I can't quite make out the mark in the 3rd pix. I have tried to rub *ashes* over marks to help highlight them when on white.....or even a dark *wax* crayon with a light rub will help. As long as it will wipe off....with soap or water.
A product called 409 will help to remove the crayon, if you have it there.... but I like ashes (yes, I am also a smoker, so I have a few ashes here) :-\
Perhaps you could try that, and then re-post another pix? Is that a number under the triangle? I can't tell....
SHE IS GORGEOUS..
Added: Might that be a ACORN in the triangle ?? ???? Royal dux, Bohemia ????
http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/bohemia/dux_1/00.php Scroll down to the pictures, and go to the SIXTH ROW, THE LAST PICTURE -- Is that one similar or not? It shows an acorn in a triangle with no letter in the in the acorn, quote: " [3] : Used between 1918 and 1945, no letter in the acorn." So maybe it is (?) [3] : Duxer Porzellanmanufaktur A.G.
Maybe ??

:cheerleader: that is the one! A quick scan on eBay indicates that they do not seem to sell well, although not a single powder box...
Looking at completed powder boxes the closest I found in terms of quality/subject were by Sitzendorf and sold around $160... :scot:
Not tempting, although the lack of anything quite as lovely as this might indicate they are in great demand but rare :sk3:
I used to have a shop just before the start of Art Deco popularity and used to get a lot of it - I kept the best and this is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing that passed through my hands. I had been wondering whether to pack or sell, decided on pack :old:

Hi Frank - Glad I hit one, finally...it was a wild guess that time. ;D
Personally, I think I would keep her for the following reasons:
1. Looks Art Deco to me, and with the band in her hair - well that seals it for me.
2. She is Nude....which I think makes her more desirable, I would think.
3. Plain, yet elegant...Sophisticated, yet desirable
4. Looks like it is in mint shape
5. And a bit usual, or (perhaps) that is why you have not seen on Ebay in regards to design - and powder box
6. And you can't help but to love the sleekness of her, with the blanket over her legs
I too think you should keep her -- and love her. :heart3: She has found a home.... :clap: BEAUTIFUL

She is beautiful!

And she is still packed ???

Did you ever try to rub ASHES on the mark and re-post here ?? Maybe then we can tell the mark better..
-
It was the Acorn mark on the original link :)
-
I thought somewhere, we had a link for marks with an acorn in a triangle for stuff...
...least it seems like I think we had one somewhere....
-
Just a question.....is it an ACORN or a upside down BEEHIVE mark? Maybe rubbing ashes on it will show more.
Here is a page with some marks on it -- and some have what looks like either a ACORN or a BEEHIVE on them.

Take a peek around there....might help to lead US somewhere....
