Lovely example of an Art Nouveau style Table decoration made by KPM Germany circa 1900. Model number is 430 and modeller was Number 31. Is this Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin or is this Krister (KPM) Both were exceptional porcelain manufacturers but KPM Berlin has always been the earliest and best known of the German Porcelain manufacturers after Meissen. The impressed marks is different to Krister and on Krister items you do not see the impressed marks
The item was designed for the centre of the table and would have held sweets for the guests. The Porcelain figurine has been hand decorated in overglaze enamels. It stands an impressive 28cm (11 inches tall)
The figure is the Stork and the baby with the egg used for placing items . It is typical of this German original art Nouveau style which became more stylised later.
