I know that shown mark was already found on items from Tirschenreuth, Retsch, and even some reading MADE IN JAPAN. Comparing found items with original products shows that it’s a mark used on (re)decorated items. Most decoration studios never registered their marks and per definition do not produce anything, meaning that they are of course not covered by reference books. So information regarding these decoration businesses is rarely available.

The covered original manufacturer mark lets us at least recognize who produced the original and during which period: [i]Bareuther[/i] from [i]Waldsassen[/i] used that mark between 1970 and 1993. Which does not influence the overall value or state the true age of the (re)decoration itself, it’s just a pointer.
