Accurate Description of Item
One Mid 20th Century Porcelain Figure of a Terrier by Metzler & Orloff
Appraiser Remarks
Metzler & Orloff began operating under that name from 1875 in Thuringia, Germany, operating as an independant company until 1959. It was nationalized by the East German government, which was at that point a communist state under the control of the Soviet Union. At this point its production was focused on local markets and not export, this change was not a success and the company closed in 1976
Based on the images and the marking, your Metzler& Orloff Terrier postdates 1923, the marking on it was used from that date until about 1972. In the current market comparable pieces now sell in the $60.00- $90.00 range.
