Looking for some help from the Allach/Kärner experts

[Belten]

I recently purchased an Eschenbach porcelain K32 Zicklein, Liegend by Kärner as a gift, and I'm looking for a little more information to include along with it. I know it was created as a slightly modified Allach design, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Does anyone know when these were made? I found a reference online which states that only around 500 were made, but that doesn't seem accurate to me.




Thanks very much in advance for any help! I apologize if this is in the wrong forum; it seemed appropriate since this is a Kärner piece.

I assume 50' 60's.

Kärner started working at Eschenbach soon after he was released from inprisonment in 1947 - right from the start he used his former production range from Allach which became then the bigger part of his post-war work for Eschenbach.

Thanks, fellows! Eschenbach changed its name to Royal Heidelberg in 1953, so these goats must have been made between 1947 and then.

I don't collect porcelain, but I personally love Kärner's animals, even if they weren't made by Allach. He was brilliant at capturing motion.
