Title: Need help on a specific fine porcelain karl ens figurine
Post by: criosphinx on January 22, 2015, 03:04:32 AM
I can't seem to find another one around on the web about this Karl Ens figurine, I spoke to someone on the ebay forums and said it was a karl ens stamp that it shows, but still no closer to finding any history about this lion bought from an antique shop in torquay, devon over 50 years ago, can anyone help?

Hi Criosphinx,

What are the dimensions or size.  Is it light, heavy, etc.  Is it on a base? or is that something you set it on for the photo?

He seems to do many more birds and people but I found something similar.  Three big cats: 5 inches tall that sold on Ebay in April 2014    L107 pounds
Not sure how that translates to Dollars or Euros.
