Hello and welcome to the board.

Could you get the mark a bit sharper please - it's rather hard to make out. If your camera has macro mode (usually indicated by a little flower symbol) set it to that and you should get better focus.

I included a picture of the figurine. I've been using the setting you suggested but it still doesn't come out clear. The mark on the figurine isn't very clear.

I think you're getting in too close to the mark as the items behind are in focus. Try standing back a bit further, that should help the focus. If you have a focus indicator in the viewfinder make sure that's on the mark not off it.

The pic of the whole item is too small to see as well, can we have a bigger one please?

There's something dinging about the mark shape in the back of my head somewhere. ???

Who is that scandenavian pottery that makes all the little boy/girl statues. Sorry, brain is not working well, but you know who I mean. The painting on Santa reminds me of them...

I can't make it out at all, but I've been through Lang's Pottery Marks and there's nothing similar there. Godden only covers British marks and this doesn't look British to me.

Carolyn, I can't think of which Scandi maker you are meaning... has it come back to you yet? :)

Carolyn

Could you be thinking of either Rosenthal (Bavaria), Rorstrand (Sweden) or Arabia Porcelain (Helsinki)?
Arabia does have a triangular mark but with three 'A's inside.
