The porcelain studio now known as Boehm porcelain got its start in New Jersey. In 1950, Edward Marshall Boehm, a sculptor, and Helen Boehm, his wife, started the E.M. Boehm porcelain studio. Known today as simply Boehm porcelain, the business specializes in exquisitely designed and sculpted animal figurines with realistic details. They are made of the finest porcelain.
Most of the pieces of this line of minutely detailed nature sculptures have a Boehm porcelain mark on the bottom of the base. If the base is wooden, the Boehm porcelain mark is on the bottom of it. In many instances, the Boehm porcelain mark is the simple raised script signature of Boehm. This mark was used in the 1950s.

In other cases, the Boehm porcelain mark features the Boehm name marked in script along with a horse’s head that is facing to the right. In addition, the word Trenton, and the initials N. J., are painted under the Boehm name. This Boehm porcelain mark was introduced around 1960.
