Walter Bosse Deer Figurine #2

This is a cute porcelain figurine made by Metzler & Ortloff in the late 1920's. Metzler & Ortloff was founded originally around 1873 and finally closed its doors in 1976. This figurine was designed during their best period by the famous Walter Bosse who worked for them from 1926 until 1930. He made about 200 different figures though most are dogs or such things and very few are larger pieces. The piece here is of a deer standing on a rectangular base with rounded corners with a flower with its leaves next to it. It is part of their placecard holder series. The deer is super cute with the little black and yellow circle design to it. Possibly meant to be a fawn I suppose. The figure is modeled and hand painted in the typical fashion for this maker and designer. Really a fun little piece! The figurine is in perfect condition which always helps and is marked underneath with the green MO mork under a crown in a circle as well as an impressed number 5546 (I think) as shown. The figurine is about 2.375 inches tall, 1.375 inches wide and 1.875 inches long. Please email me for more information or photos.
