Many Kuppenheim pieces from 1925 onwards were made in the Japanese Style		Kuppenheim made many pieces depicting Animals - specially CATS

Kuppenheim fertigte auch Dosen, Etuis, Schminkdosen und auch Streichholzdosen mit plastischen Darstellungen von Tieren. Ich habe ca. 3 verschiedene Größen gesehen mit folgenden Tieren: Sehr oft mit Katzen aber auch Eulen, Elefanten und Hunden. Diese sind sehr begehrt und recht teuer. Hier klicken um noch mehr zu sehen...

Kuppenheim made quite a few different Animal Cases. These are very desirable. They made the animals as: Vesta Cases, Minaudieres, Cigarette Cases. Minaudieres in several different sizes (I have seen 3 different sizes). They decipted mostly Cats, but also Monkeys, Owls, Elefants and Dogs. Kuppenheim also made silver cigarette /compact cases with cats in enamel. Check out my Pictures Animals.
