Christmas Angel Ceramic Figure Germany Vintage

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.
