This is a known model no 3544 Weiss, Kühnert & Company, Gräfenthal, Thuringia, porcelain glazed right-facing woman's
side-buttoned cap toe shoe with in-mold pairs of geese and an in-mold gosling on the outside rear quarter. It is fully
glazed. It is known to be made also as a left facing shoe. Glaze coat is clear with gilding of rim, laces, and toe cap
boundary. One goose sits on the vamp; one strides the right vamp. Geese are white & black with brown-red bills and
feet. Toe cap is pearlized pinkish gray, which is aged from the original more minty green at manufacture. Book value
is $150 for this impressive large size, but I am discounting it because of the color change, which is only an issue if you
plan to display it next to a mintier shaded left-facing shoe. No chips or fractures, and gild is perfectly
intact. "Germany 3544" is impressed on the left side of the heel. See page 168L3.2, Wojtkowski , Porcelain
and Pottery Shoes, Schiffer Pub. 2004. Shoe is probably 1920s vintage, but could be earlier. Shoe size
is 6-1/2 x 2-3/4; 7.6 oz. Item #1228, Price $45.
