This charming vintage porcelain figurine by Scheidig Kunst Gräfenthal Thüringen features an endearing scene of two children on their way to bed — one holding a teddy bear, the other leading the way with a candleholder.

Expertly handcrafted in the 1940s in East Germany, this piece captures a moment of innocence and companionship with delicate detail and a glossy finish. The taller child is dressed in pale green shorts and a bluecollared shirt, while the younger child clutches a gray teddy bear and wears a white gown trimmed in blue.

About Scheidig Kunst:
Carl Scheidig founded the porcelain factory in Gräfenthal, Thuringia in the late 19th century. By the mid20th century, especially postWWII, the factory became known for delicate handpainted figurines under the name Scheidig Kunst, exporting worldwide from East Germany. Their charming and detailed porcelain children are now considered collectible treasures, representing craftsmanship and nostalgic charm.
