Catalog No. (X18)
Porcelain, figural, 1.0L or 0.5L.
Produced with front portrait of either Ludwig II (right) or Bismarck (below left).
Otto von Bismarck (1815-98) was known as the �Iron Chancellor� and is generally acknowledged as having been the prime mover in unifying the German states under a single ruler (Wilhelm I) and in the rise of Germany as a great European power.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886), the �Dream King�, is best remembered for his castle-building. The most well known today is Neuschwanstein, but he was also responsible for Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee, two equally spectacular undertakings. Embattled over his spending and leadership, Ludwig was drowned in Lake Starnberg under questionable circumstances at the age of 40.
