Hi to all :)
There existed a thread here, where this one was judged as still lacking the proof that it is in fact a Walther /Scheiner piece...

I've searched again and again and could not find this thread  :twisted:

BUT finally, I have traced the holder again today in the Walther catalogue of 1934 Tafel 78
I knew it was there somewhere... :D

Lustrousstone:
I think maybe it was a cafe thread and has been deleted, but well done Pamela. Does that mean there are two sorts of Nymphen candlestick? If so perhaps posting a link to the other one here as well would help in the future.

Hi Pamela - here's the thread. I remember it well - I found other pieces of the set in the catalogues but I couldn't find the candlestick, but I was convinced the entire set was Walther. Well done for finding it  :D

I'll post again later (I'll be out most of the day).

Glen

pamela:
Thank you Glen, now I realize that I had joined GMB DURING that thread  :)

Christine and all:
it remains very difficult still:

my two figurines both have two arms up
the mermaid in Walther 1934 page 78 has ONE arm up, it is not a candlestick holder but it's carrying a bowl with 'cork' - the base is definitely same as my figurines

The figurines Leni has shown in the other thread

have a completely different shape of base and the faces in fact are less 'sweet'

 :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

As I believe I have said previously, it was the fact that these 'one arm' ladies are not so pretty which originally made me doubt if they were actually by Walther!   :shock:  :?   I have always noted how sweet the Walther ladies were!   :D

I know it has been said that these 'one arm up' ladies were actually compote carriers, but the 'set which I bought (and sold all but the tray and one chipped bowl  :roll: ) came with  two 'one arm' ladies who had clearly been bought as candle holders!    :?
