This Bohemian deco era design is attributed to Curt Schlevogt. This one is unmarked, approximately 8" by 5" by 2.5". Many modern reproductions are on the market, so this is an area where collectors should tread carefully. Please see the link below for more information. (CAVEAT EMPTOR)

You are right about caveat emptor with these - the moulds have been used to make modern reproductions. However, they are the original moulds, so, at the right price... There are ways to spot the originals, largely hand finishing, but this is an area I have avoided - like Moser frieze vases which were produced into the 1990s.
Yes Ian - in the case of my example I didn't pay much, so quite happy with it & love the design. - Cheers! - Bob
Appreciate the visit Michelle!
