Andy:
Its got to be Santa Claus!
or maybe a glass maker himself? What date are we putting on the object? c1900?

nope - any name that comes up can be checked on google images, and it is not Henri.
pamela:
just asked Geiselberger about it - if he does not know who else >:D
shall keep you informed about his reaction.
It's a high quality item and I would keep it as well, Max ;D
my first thought nevertheless is Riedel - wait and see ;)
mikenott:
Gee guys, thanks for all the suggestions :clap: :clap:
Just to answer a previous question - There are no marks on the figure. The base is square and plain - about 7mm thick.
Michael.

Thoughts on the shape of the medal.....
Royal Victorian Order???? Clothing suggests not military, nor a really high-ranking honour, and very high orders tended to collars, with lower echelons, pinning to the breast. Possibly religious, but again, hierarchy tended to collars.... see the various pages on papal honours.

Marcus
