The left hand has been glued on again after it was removable. A piece of the plinth at the left foot had been broken but has been secured again.

Rudolf Kämmer Porcelain Manufactory
The porcelain manufactory was established under Anton Müller and Otto Hammer in 1912 in Rudolstadt-Volkstedt. The porcelain manufactory stands for typical Thüringen porcelain. The manufactory produces porcelain figures, pugs, tobacco pipe, white ware and also lithophanes in elaborate hand work. After the factory had been destroyed entirely during the Second World War, the factory started a comeback with Kramer and Kämmer in 1946. The company was nationalized in 1972, and reprivatized after the German unity under Erhard Kämmer.
