I have this wonderful piece I am researching and can not find anything like it. It is a piece with oblong circle with arrow pointing down with R on one side and S on the other. I have tried to post pic,s and for some reason I can,t. Trying to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Yes the mark is early RS Prussia
R.S. Arrow Mark
1888 – 1893
There are two parts to this mark, a squashed ellipse and an arrow. The former is thought to be a mining symbol, the latter a weapons symbol. Both mining and weapon making were activities at the Lauter forge, which was later acquired by Reinhold Schlegelmilch and converted to a porcelain factory in 1869. Various sizes of this mark may be found in the colors black, blue, and red. How early the mark was used is uncertain, but it was not used later than 1894.
