Porzellanfabrik Karl Ens: Young Bacchus - A. Berger - circa 1910

I managed to snag a copy of this nice figurative nude on a German auction site this evening. I first saw it on eBay Germany several weeks ago but the price was a bit much for my sagging purse after shelling out mega bucks for two bronzes. It is a product of the Porzellanfabrik Karl Ens, former East Germany, and is, from what I can tell, somewhat rare. The Karl Ens Porcelain Factory dates from the late 19th century (1890) to 1972 and produced a long line of genre porcelain figurines. The subject matter appears to be a young Bacchus.
