What does this mark mean???
« on: December 18, 2013, 03:52:56 pm »
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me to read this mark on the sauce boat. I believe it's over 100 years old and it may come from Germany or Austria but I am not 100% sure.
I'd really appreciate if someone could help me to read it. It looks like there are two crossed flags with letter "M" on the top and letter "S" on the bottom. Please see attached photos.

Thank you,

Marta :)

That Karlsbad mark is unrelated to this one.


Has that Bohemian vibe about it though

'H',  not 'M' ...

Porzellanfabrik H. Schmidt (a.k.a. Porzellanfabrik Schmidt & Otremba) from the town of Freiwaldau in Silesia. Registered 1894-May-30 as No.68 at the Royal Court in Sorau and used between 1894 and 1922.
