Q I have a porcelain dish decorated with pink and yellow roses and leafy border. It has scalloped and beaded edges. The mark on the bottom is a star above ”RS Prussia.” The letters are in red and there is a green wreath between ”RS” and ”Prussia.” Who made this dish and how old is it?
A This mark was used by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch Porcelain Factories. Schlegelmilch started his porcelain works in Suhl, Germany, in 1869. The company had a branch in Tillowitz and moved its operations to Tillowitz in 1932. This mark was used from the 1880s to 1917. The mark has been copied, and reproductions have been made.
