Karl Ens porcelain
Hi , is the value completely lost for an Ens porcelain sparrow figurine if there is damage, eg some small clips on the wings? Thank you

·6 months agoBased on a quick look at asking prices, I would say the might be worth a few bucks to someone who finds them decorative but is not a collector. Collectors want perfect items, and these are not going high enough to justify the cost of paying a restorer and having a repaired figure in a collection.
For many collectible figures and plates, the only real market is as replacements for damaged pieces in collections.

·6 months agoif your figure is marked with crossed arrows, it is not by Ens. Widely attributed ens only made dinner ware not figurines. these are probably japanese exports 20 th century.
