I was very positive surprised when I have received the Wilhelm Pieck Bust today,because it is much nicer and bigger than I thought.
And the best Thing...it is a stamped and signatured Porcelain Bust!!
The blue Porcelain Stamp is unknown so far for me. My best guess would be "Ilmenau" but thats just a guess. Also on the Stamp it says 1962.
It is mounted on a wooden Piece with 2 screws.
I guess the Bust was made in 1962 and was awarded in 1983 as a Hounor Present to the reservistenkollektiv "Wilhelm Pieck"
Here are some Photos.
