Antique German Pink Pigs Figurine Fairing

Antiques : Ceramics, Porcelain : Pink Pig : Germany

 

Pink pigs in a purse figurine that was made in Germany prior to 1900. No markings confirms when it was made. This particular piece is larger than most. It's 3&1/2 inches tall, by 4 inches long. It's not just the bust of the pigs, but 2 whole, and separate figures affixed inside the green purse. Nice pink color...not faded at all. Cute expressions on their hand painted faces. 3 of the 4 ear tips are pointed. The 4th (I've included a close up photo) is blunt at the tip, and there is a shallow line on the top of the ear. This wasn't repaired, as it doesn't go all the way through, and the blunt tip has been glazed over, so I am assuming that this was a factory flaw. No other imperfections, or paint loss.
