china figurines query:- I have a figurine of a woman dressed in a lovely pink dress with a hooded jacket with ribbons and raised blue roses she is 8 inches tall. Her pottery mark is two crossed blue downward pointed arrows. She also has numbers 8127.

Dear Debra,

She sounds lovely from your description, but it is hard to say too much about her without seeing a photo of your china figurine and knowing a bit more about the background of where you bought it or inherited it from.

The crossed arrows mark is a widely copied one, particularly from a New York based importer from Japan called Arnart or Homco. They are imitating the mark of quality German makers called 'Kalk' Porcelain of Eisenberg in Thuringia (1900 - 1973), formerly Geyer & Körbitz (1890 - 1900).

I hope that this helps a bit,

best regards

Tony
