We just bought a teacup and have no idea what this marking is. We can’t find anything on the internet for this marking and have no idea how to find out. Have any of you seen this or have any idea what this is?

[i]”… Is this a rare mark? …”[/i]
That question is a two-edged sword, let me try to answer it this way:
From the manufacturer’s view (Voigt himself), it is not rare – it was the only mark he used. From an overall German scope however, it is indeed very hard to find an example of that mark. That is due to the fact that the company did not produce large numbers, hence there are not many examples to go by.
Voigt was always seen as small-scale business and did not make it into reference books often, thus his business is not very well documented. Even I only have three examples of his mark and a few scraps of information in my archive, that is not quite enough to make it into one of my page updates ([url]www.porcelainmarksandmore.com[/url]) yet.
