The \"NH\" mark is most commonly attributed to the Schierholz \u0026amp; Co. factory in Plaue, Thuringia, Germany, which was founded in 1817. The factory was renowned for its highquality bisque and porcelain figures, often inspired by classical mythology and allegorical themes. Pieces like this were highly sought after for their decorative beauty and were a staple of wellappointed homes during the period. The style of the piece, with its elegant figures and delicate colors, is characteristic of the German porcelain tradition of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gifted UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52605036200283,"sku":null,"price":186.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_60369756-0f99-4cf4-9e67-298e416407fa.jpg?v=1773693303","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/antique-nh-porcelain-figurine-candle-holder-two-greek-goddesses-top-part-missing","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
