I have a tiny ErPhila Dickens Sam Weller fiurine. I also have 4 other tiny Dickens figurines which are the same tiny size stamped "Germany" in black. They have an imprinted number on the back of the base and their "name" is imprinted on the front. I have searched everywhere I can think of and haven't found any figurines resembling these 4. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have an erphila flute vase. has 3 openings on top for flowers etc. white and in great shape. on the bottom of the center piece there is E R inc est. 1835 erphila company chezcho-slovakia then there is a number 3693 ..I'm sure that means there is at lease that many pcs... if not more ?? I'm just courious about the value, if any or is this a common piece ??
I just found the same vase (I believe, based on your description) at a yard sale for $1.00. I has the same number of "3693" stamped on it. It is beautiful and I though it might be worth a lot of money, but perhaps not? Did you get any responses or have any additional information? Thanks!
vase is green/w gold handles, there is a scene of a wounded cherub being helped by a woman and man. On the other side the man (carrying a harp) is dancing away with the woman and the cherub is healed also dancing off with a violin in one hand and a torch in the other. the vase is about 9 1/2 inches tall, the scences are blue, amber,cream colors etc. the base is green,cream and gold designs.
