Antique Questions Forum / Re: SP Dresden?

The logo search led me to the Dresden website, where they still make fine porcelain today! They temporarily closed in 1914 due to the war and when they re-opened, the logo changed. Similarly, the logo prior to 1902 was the Dresden signature painted by the founder Carl Thieme. So that goes with my initial information of the piece being made between these 2 dates.
My Mother resided in the Cotswolds, UK and I am based in South Wales. It may be worth absolutely nothing; but knowing my Mother she probably picked it up for 50 pence at a boot sale (she was a sucker for a bargain!) As I said, I cannot find anything similar to it online and have had estimates from £9 to £250 so you never know. I just can't believe I own something so beautiful and in such wonderful condition that is over 100 years old!

the SP I have found stands for Saxon Porcelain and the logo is that of the Dresden Porcelain factory in Germany, likely made by Karl August Kuntzsch after the death of founder Carl Thieme.
