I purchased 3 tea bicquit containers with lids at an auction. They are beutiful with tiny flowers on them and are old. The auctioneer said they were Meissen but after puchasing them they did not have the Meissen mark but a small raised star on the bottom about the size of a dime. The star is the same material used in making the container. Does anyone know where these were made and who used a star?:S
