I brought some porcelain on ebay which was marked victoria, czechoslovakia and EPIAG, Czechoslovakia. The were listed on ebay as Rosenthal. When i queried it with seller they said the following, is this right?
With reference to your comments regarding authenticity, these are indeed Rosenthal pieces, and we would like to make the following observations. During the period of the Weimar Republic (1929), when these pieces were manufactured, Rosenthal were situated on the border of Bavaria and the Sudetenland (German speaking) part of Czechoslovakia. The Rosenthal company used German citizens in this area to decorate some of the pieces that it produced in exactly the same manner as did Limoges in France and Murano in Italy. Therefore, not all Rosenthal pieces have the maker’s name on them, but the artist’s initials appear on both stamped and unstamped pieces.
Thanks

Paul, I think I agree with cs. Nonsense! To learn more about epiag and make your own conclusion I googled epiag czechoslvia and then clicked on oepiag & epiag marks ginni’s bohemian & czech porcelain. It tells the history of epiag in czechoslovia. It makes no mention of Rosenthal family in germany.
