OK,, This is really strange,,Pics say content can not be loaded at this time,, try back later !! And whats with the proper names,,,some may not want their name printed !! Thats the reason for the user names !! But they did increase the size limit,,thank heavens !! Now if it would just show the pics !!

Can’t view the pictures but sounds like R.C. above the series name, RACINE. If so, that’s a mark used by [b]Philipp Rosenthal & Co.[/b] (from Selb, Bavaria ) between 1891 and 1907.

[i]EDIT: Now that the images finally load I see that the base shows an additional signature, “Beck”, which is probably the name of a former owner or the hobbyist which (re)decorated the item.[/i]
