Porcelain figurines.

I watched bargain hunt and that's what set me off wondering about the monkey band.

Figurines very similar to these were featured on bargain hunt today may be worth while to catch up with the item on I player.( BBC 1)

Can't help you with the mark but the monkey looks continental to me.

It looks like a Dresden mark, there were several over the years, but also many fakes,
The swirly pattern at the base is also a feature of Dresden, but again easily faked.

The price of gold has risen because dh sold!!

I'm off to rifle through my jewellery box!

I'm sorry I cant help either.

Ooh! I have several odd earrings (the others got lost) - perhaps I should see what I can get for them.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with the porcelain mark, minimoon.

As a little sidebar to this thread, last Friday a local auctioneer and valuer held an open day for charity when anyone could take things to be valued for a donation to charity.
A friend took 3 Coalport figures which her parents had paid very good money for.
He told her they weren’t even worth a fiver as they are so out of fashion.
She also took an old watch strap and a pair of earrings and he gave her £100 on the spot for them.
Apparently the price of gold has rocketed.

It could be German, Volkstedt ?
