I should have made it a little clearer: the original (and hard to read when covered up) Edelstein mark can be found with or without a crown. It has nothing to do with the cover-up mark of Neukirchner (which always has a crown in the top-right quadrant). My bad for not specifying that more precisely before ;)

And sorry, I myself never comment on value (for various reasons), a few of which can be found here: http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/resources/essay_value.php



thanks again, very helpful again.
and your essay on value makes sense too.
the only problem i encounter is when i look at places like ebay.com, i cant find any other items that are truly similar that are for sale. yes i see other bavarian chinas, but i would imagine pricing is different by manufacturers and in this case very different since this is a (re)decorated set.

The shown item is (re)decorated porcelain.

Original manufacturer was the company of Julius Edelstein from the town of Küps in Bavaria. Two mark versions are possible:

- WITH a crown, but with "Edelstein, Bavaria, Maria-Theresia": from 1924 until 1933
- WITHOUT a crown, but with "Edelstein, Bavaria, Maria-Theresia": from 1929 until 1972

The (re)decorator (in both possible cases) was the company of Franz Neukirchner from the town of Waldershof in Bavaria. The company used that specific cover-up mark from 1925 right up until 1958, which of course leaves us with a production window of between 1925 and around 1958.

I don't see any chance of narrowing down the date range, sorry.


thank you, that was very helpful.
the coverup mark shows a crown in the right corner and when held to the light it says edelstein bavaria, so is it safe to say this is from 1924-1933?
also, do you know an estimated value of this china?

anyone have any idea if this is valuable? or even real?
i tired to take my set to a local antique shop to see if they wanted to buy it, or at least give me an estimated value of it.
but the guy said he wasnt interested in making me an offer, he said that it would be a tough sell and the floral painted versions of bavarian china sell better in his store.

heres the marking on the underside.
bavarian baby was right, if you hold it up to a light, under this seal it says "edelstien bavaria" but you cant see it in the photo
