Which Carl Scheidig porcelain figurines are the rarest?

Carl Scheidig porcelain figurines cover hundreds of different designs, though only a small number are regarded as genuinely rare and collectors often search for figures produced in limited numbers, discontinued models or large porcelain groups that were difficult to manufacture. Those pieces appear far less often than smaller decorative figurines. Large figurine groups featuring several people or animals are among the hardest examples to find. Their size made them more likely to suffer accidental damage over the years, leaving fewer complete pieces available today. Early production from the 1900s through the 1930s can attract stronger collector interest than later examples, particularly if the original hand-painted decoration remains untouched. Rare animal models are another popular category, birds of prey, hunting dogs, deer groups and unusual wildlife figures often receive more attention than common domestic animals. Condition plays a major part in rarity, a design may survive in fair numbers, though only a handful remain free from chips, cracks or restored sections. And original factory labels, old shop stickers and documented ownership can add extra appeal.
