Stoat pottery ID help please

I have had this ceramic, presuming pottery, stoat in my collection for years, but never seen another one and would like to find out who made it, if possible, if not, possible country of origin and rough age.

It is approximately 5¾" maximum length and 3¼" maximum width and the maximum height is 4 1/8"

On the base is Stoat Musteta erminea

Thank you for any help in advance

Hi there
I have just bought one of these from a charity shop, like you I am having trouble identifying the maker.
If I succeed I will let you know. I thinks it's probably of UK manufacture and 50s or 60s.

Regards

Iain

Thanks, I did some more digging on Google and found it is possibly / probably German.

I did already know that.

Interesting DenbyDump, it is very similar and it could be the same maker, maybe the stoat was not marked with the S and crown mark for some reason (or it is a different maker, but similar style).

Thanks for sharing the link to that thread in this thread. I have my stoat on my desk. I'll see if I get some time at the weekend to do some more digging, especially with the new Saxony info.
