Maker was [b]Zehendner & Co.[/b], the second factory located in the town of [i]Tirschenreuth[/i]. Shown mark was used unaltered between 1949 and 1989. The factory never ‘named’ their series but used decoration numbers instead.

Their catalogs are commonly found only in the hands of collectors which such information instead of re-publishing it, hence one has to manually search sites like Replacements.com to find some reference which has nothing to do with the original descriptor and is just as made up as most distributor/importer-given names.

How that helps (or satisfies) collectors is well beyond me, one would assume that they would proudly rig up some websie or publish a small brochure or cross-reference list, *sigh*.
