Useful information for the evaluation of the object: We have put, in the photos just below this description, some sculptures depicting various animals made by the artist, all quoted or sold at auction at very high prices, with peaks of 6,800€ excluding auction fees of 25-30%. Then we have put other sculptures of animals in porcelain, always made by Fritz Heidenreich, proposed on 1stdibs at very high prices, all to give an idea of the value of the sculptures made by this famous artist. Consider that the porcelain sculptures depicting animals of the 20th century are usually among the most penalized and depreciated by auctions. Information on the artist and/or manufacturer: Fritz Heidenreich (1895 - 1966) was a very important German porcelain sculptor, who worked for the Rosenthal porcelain manufactory from 1919 to 1960, known above all for his depictions of forest animals and birds. From 1939 to 1943 he was represented at all major German art exhibitions in Munich, with 16 animal sculptures. In 1937 he won the Grand Prix for his group of angelfish at the World Exhibition in Paris. The famous orchid vase, based on his design, is still produced today. From 1946 Heidenreich was director of the art department of Rosenthal in Selb. In the last photo, always immediately below this description, we have placed additional biographical information on the artist for those who want to learn more. ENTER OUR EBAY SHOP .

OUR COMMERCIAL POLICY Aware of operating in the eBay market, our prices are often lower than the real value of the object, as often documented in our descriptions, and also lower than the prices at which very similar objects are offered on other online art sales platforms and antiques. At the same time, eBay reciprocates with the possibility of selling a high quantity of objects, so our commercial policy is to earn little for the single object, but sell a lot and therefore earn on the quantity. In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.

SHIPPING WORLDWIDE - RETURN ALWAYS ACCEPTED The cost of packaging is also calculated in the shipping cost , and everything has increased by 19% because both ebay and paypal also take fees on the shipping cost. OUR SHIPMENTS: .. O ur shipments cost a little more than the average, but they are all shipments with professional packaging. Double box with a lot of bubble wrap around the object and a lot of soft material in the large cavities on all sides between the two boxes. This means that the package is much larger and heavier and therefore the cost of shipping increases, not to mention all the work necessary to carry out a similar packaging and the cost of the various materials used. . .
