The repros first started showing up after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, so if your lady predates that, you can be pretty sure she is the real deal. The difference between the orignal and repro turtle ladies are pretty subtle, and I would really have to see a good sharp picture of yours. To make things more confusing, they were first reproduced in Germany and the quality of the bisque and decoration was BETTER than those of the original. Now most of the repros are coming out of Belgium and the quality is WORSE than the original's. On top of that, the turtle lady was a popular naughty novelty, and German (and Japanese) makers produced her in both bisque and china and in a number of variations and sizes. However, if yours resembles the one above, I would value her for insurance at between $125 to $175.Sharon Hope Weintraubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15631538333267785121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094355976425137043.post-77489854427356054752012-07-30T14:02:33.527-05:002012-07-30T14:02:33.527-05:00Is there a way to tell if its an original?

Any idea of the value? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
