Image 1 of Singular Figure has an s with a pumpkin shaped crown above it representing the brand Sitzendorfs.
The Sitzendorf factory was established in the late 18th century and is known for its fine quality porcelain, including figurines, tableware, and decorative items. The marking often includes a crown over the "S," which signifies its origin and the quality of the porcelain. Sitzendorf porcelain is highly collectible and valued for its craftsmanship and intricate designs.
Image 2 of the 2 figures is marked with an s and crossed swords representing Pößneck Porcelain Factory.
In the year 1905 August Kister sold the factory to his son-in-law Mr. Offeney who turned the business into a private liability company and introduced the crossed-through 'S' mark. During an exhibition in Turin (Italy) in 1911, the company was awarded its 12th gold medal in addition to the two silver medals and six Grand Prix awards received earlier at national and international displays. This of course increased business and in 1913 the company already employed just over 300 workers, a number that remained constant until 1937. The year 1920 saw Kister sell the factory to Baron von Schilling who kept the name of A.W.F. Kister GmbH, which existed in that form until 1962.
