Porcelain Duck Goebel

This exquisite porcelain Duck is made by Goebel* in West Germany. It is made with lots of craft and detail in a soft white colour with matt gold details. Goebel items are extremely collectable with many admirers world wide and I was very very lucky to find this one. It measures as follows: foot dia 12.5cm, beak to tail 23 cm with a height of 16 cm. It weighs 721 grms. Postage from France included.

* The company was founded by Franz Detleff and William Goebel in 1871. It was known as F&W Goebel. The company in the beggining was making marbles and slates but soon started making porcelain tableware and figurines. In 1893 the company was already fully owned by William Goebel. Luxury porcelain was exported to America. The factory produced also Meissen style figurines. In 1911 Max Louis Goebel took over the management of the factory. He brought innovative spirit to the company.
