Antique Figurine Restoration and Repair Services
Although the earliest antique figurines were created at least 30,000 years ago for ceremonial and spiritual purposes in areas of Asia and Africa, the figurines most collectors associate with antiquity originated in Europe in the 1700's. Artisans of that era began sculpting figurines out of hard paste porcelain as the material spread across Europe. The first collectible antique figurines were produced by the same sources producing antique China pieces, including Meissen and Dresden in Germany, Limoges in France, and Royal Doultan in England. Some of the most popular types of collectible antique figurines are:
 Hummel Figurine Repair and Restoration
M.I. Hummel figurines have been highly cherished collectibles since their introduction in 1935. The figurines are produced by Goebel and are based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, a Franciscan nun who lived in Germany. Hummel figurines are identifiable by their official marks, short stature, child-like expressions, and warm earth tones.
We have restored many antique Hummel figurines and would love to repair or restore yours!
Lladro Figurine Repair and Restoration
Lladro figurines have been highly cherished collectibles since their introduction in 1956. The hard-paste porcelain figurines were created by three Spanish brothers, Juan, Jose and Vicente Lladro, in the village of Almacera, Spain. Lladro figurines are identifiable by their official marks, long flowing bodies, and cool gray tones.

 Stangl Pottery Repair and Restoration
Stangl Pottery was an important American pottery maker during the first half of the 20th century and actually started out as Hill Pottery in 1814. In 1864, Abram Fulper bought the company and focused on the production of more sophisticated and durable ceramics. He changed the name to Fulper Pottery and in 1909 he focused the company on producing art pottery. In 1910, Martin Stangl, a ceramic engineer, joined Fulper Pottery but left in 1914 to start work at Haeger, where his influence allowed Haeger to produce designs similar of his work at Fulper. Stangl left Haeger in 1919 to return to Fulper and in 1929, he bought Fulper Pottery and immediately changed the name to Stangl Pottery. During this period, Stangl began to retreat from high end art pottery and focused on producing lines of highly detailed, hand painted bird figurines which were widely popular and still are today. The bird lines ceased in 1955 as demand waned and the company officially closed when it was bought by Pfaltzgraf in 1978. Stangl Pottery items remain one of the most popular collectible pottery lines, especially their bird figurines.
