| I have inherited this white ceramic reclining stag figurine. It would have been purchased around or before mid-20th century. It is about 5 inches high. There are no marks on it. Does anyone have any ideas about possible manufacturers, etc? Thanks for your help!

| Look at the bottom side. Is it open on the bottom and the figure hollow? If so, this may be a "slip molding" and inexpensive to produce. However, the design is appealing. |

| all porcelain figurines are hollow....from "no name" made in Japan to lladro and Royal Doulton on to cybis. they are made by pouring slip into a mold and sometimes piecing the molded pieces together and firing. Because of the detail and delicacy of the antlers, this looks like a quality piece....unfortunatly I have no idea what it could be. Linda c |

| Might be Haeger Potteries from the 40s-60s. They made figures of this sort although the black panther is the most famous. |

| There is a book available. Maybe you could get a hold of a copy and see if its in there. |

| Actually according to some information a fair amount of it was unmarked or marked with labels, which were removed or came off. |
|
| Didn't know that....does look like Haeger.... But I thought all the Royal Haeger was marked...?? |

| Thanks - I see why you think it might be Haeger. I have looked, and so far have not found under Haeger, but you never know. Thanks for your help! Jackie |
