Japanese Lady on Sofa Figurine

This is a figurine made by the Schwarzburger Werkstaetten in the early 20th century when it was first designed. That means it is one of the rare original pieces. I have not been abelt to find another one of these in my books or online so definitely one of thie rarer pieces by them. The figure is of an Asian lady - likely Japanese - resting on a nicely shaped sofa with a green pillow behind her. She is wearing a fancy blue outfit while holding a mask in her left hand. A bird is perched in the back of the sofa. Not sure what the mask is for - maybe she is going to a masquerade ball or something like that. The piece is in superb condition with just some tiny black firing spots from the firing process when she was made and a flat chip to the mostly the underside of the left back foot which does not show when on display. The figurine is 5.5 inches tall, 7.125 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. The piece is marked with the impressed fox mark as well as U 445 and the impressed stamp stating Schwarzburger Werkstätten für Porzellankunst. The fox has a cut through it denoting it being a second choice piece. On the side of the base we find the artist name impressed M. (for Marta ) Schlameus who designed the piece. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
