Ernst Bohne first started porcelain decoration in 1848, installing a kiln for manufacture of porcelain in 1850 in Rudolstadt, Thuringia. After his death in 1856, his sons Gustav, Karl & David took over the company as Ernst Bohne & Sohne. By 1883 David was left as a sole proprietor.

The base has been professionally restored back in time, hardy noticeable on top, mostly on the little flowers and leaves around the feet of the monkey, the seams of the restauration are visible on the underside of the base. The figurine itself is ok, no restorations under black light. The tree trunk and the bowl are also intact. Marvelous display!
