ABOUT PRODUCTID 4031
This porcelain dish with a mouse figurine is an example of precise craftsmanship from the renowned Karl Ens manufactory, established in Thuringia at the end of the 19th century. Crafted from glossy white porcelain, the oval-shaped bowl features gently raised edges adorned with a fine gold band. The mouse, poised on the rim, is rendered in softly shaded gray with hand-painted black eyes and paws. The piece is small in scale (height 4 cm, length 9.5 cm, width 7.5 cm), with a smooth, glazed surface that gives it a characteristically luminous finish. The integration of the figurine and the dish is seamless, reflecting the high production standards of Ens during the mid-20th century. The condition is excellent and original, with no signs of use, damage, or restoration. In this compact form, one hears the voice of an era in which attention to detail and restrained ornamentation expressed a pursuit of harmony. The mouse peering over the rim seems to tell a story of everyday life captured with lightness and a touch of humor—porcelain freezing a moment of gentle surprise. The gold accent on the rim evokes the elegance of classic interiors, while the subtle palette underscores an affinity for calm, balanced compositions. This miniature scene reveals both the precision of the workshop and a sensitivity to small gestures, so typical of decorative objects from the 1960s. The dish can be displayed alongside other porcelain figurines on a glass shelf or console, where it creates an intimate focal point. It will fit well in a classic display cabinet or on a coffee table in the living room, accompanied by period objects such as a crystal sugar bowl or a silver spoon. In collector’s arrangements, it can be paired with other
