It is hard to tell what this angel is made of. He has a slight glazed finish, but rings as a
slight thud when tapped; there is crazing.
The bottom seems to be sealed with a type of paper or mat, and then
painted. Alas, the hand is broken and
the arm and head are glued back on. This
is a very old piece made in Germany. An
ink stamp on the bottom says "Germany". I assume this is a very early Christmas
piece. This angel stands about 5.5
inches tall and is likely hard to find because it is so fragile. Perhaps Papier-mâché.

Pewter Soup Spoon Ladle Germany Vintage
This is a vintage pewter spoon. It is stamped Germany. I can find no other stamps or marks. It is a very light weight spoon and has a
distinct thud sound when tapped. There
is a small tear in the metal in the scoop part of the spoon and the surface of
the spoon is discolored. This is a old
spoon, it may qualify as an antique. I
do not know if it is a soup spoon or a small ladle.
