I have recently acquired a porcelain figurine that I actually know nothing about. I think, then I look at Catawiki for the info, but he knows just as much as I googled "nothing"

and found out that it belongs to Ernst Bohne. Who knows more about this and whether there are more of these moving figurines, and from what year.

I'm not surprised that the "connoisseurs" don't respond to it, because it's not a bite-sized chunk from Delft. But for those who are interested; This is what I have come across so far, the baker's girl is a so-called Wackelfigure and was produced in the period from 1878 to 1900, about 50 different figurines appeared in that time. Later, some figurines were produced again (hard colors and steel wire no longer visible) by Albert Stahl & Co, who took over Ernst Bohne & Söhne in 1937.

But unfortunately my rare figurine (and the other 50 figurines from the 19th century) cannot be found on the world wide web (except mine on Catawiki :-))

Quest continues
