About the Item
Pair of 1920s German Porcelain & Cork Bottle Stoppers
This charming pair of 1920s German porcelain bottle stoppers captures the humor and craftsmanship of the era. Featuring a jovial gentleman in a classic bowler hat and a cranky-looking lady adorned with a fancy hat and red earrings, these hand-painted figures are full of personality. Mounted on original cork bases, they were likely designed for wine or spirits bottles, adding character to the table or bar.
During the 1920s and 1930s, German porcelain manufacturers became known for producing highly detailed and expressive figural designs, particularly in the realm of novelty and character collectibles. These playful, exaggerated expressions were a hallmark of the period, often inspired by caricatures, theatrical characters, and everyday personalities. Many of these figures were crafted in Thuringia and Bavaria, regions renowned for their high-quality porcelain production.
Both stoppers remain in excellent condition, with only minor paint wear on the side of the man's bowler hat, which is typical for pieces of this age. Both figures have faint four-digit numbers on their backs—the woman’s is 7079, while the man’s is more difficult to read but appears to be 7078.
