Help to identify this set
« on: June 08, 2012, 03:38:06 pm »
I have a tea (Demitasse) Set from my parents that was a wedding gift (1952)  I cannot find any others like it.  Can anyone identify it for me?

The bottoms are marked Mitterteich Bavaria U.S. Zone Made in Germany
Some say Mitterteich Bavaria US ZONE MSM

Well, I assume it's a set by the Porzellanfabrik Mitterteich AG from the town of Mitterteich ( see here: http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/bavaria/mitterteich_2/00.php ) as the other factory in Mitterteich used the name Rieber in its marks. And the generic "US Zone" addition was used between 1946 and 1949 only.

Other than that, I have no idea ... most German companies never 'named' their series anyway, they left that to distributors and such. Meaning that there may be various different names floating around.
