AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a rare terracotta figurine produced in the late early 1900's. It was made by the Ilmenau company Abicht & Co. This mark dates it to 1875-1930.
The inscription "Schutz Marke Deponirt" on the figurine refers to a trademark registration. The German phrase translates to "Protection Mark Registered," meaning the design of the item was protected under German or Austrian law during the late 19th or early 20th century.
"Deponirt" (an older spelling of deponiert) acts similarly to a patent or copyright mark, indicating that the manufacturer officially recorded the design to prevent unauthorized copying. It is not a manufacturer's name itself, but rather a legal notification often accompanied by a specific company's logo or initials elsewhere on the piece.
The item itself is identified through visual search as an antique German or Austrian terracotta or earthenware mantel figure group with an orientalist theme, often referred to as "Deponirt pottery".
The items is in a fair condition with some little damages.
