Pre-1945 silverplated brass.

There are multiple possibilities; hard to say without a picture of the mark in question.

Sorry for being direct (Czechs and Germans are like that) but you will probably never find out who actually MADE the item as the mark shown is that of the importer and retailer Charles Ahrenfeldt from...

This site is literally stuck in the stone age when digital images were max. 640x480 pixels and no larger than 50kb each. On top, it's literally dead after the owners scared away all knowing folk by ignoring...

A typical retailer marking. "Pearce & Passenger" were a glass/ceramics/china retailer; the item itself was produced by "Pinder, Bourne & Hope" (Burslem/Stoke-on-Trent/UK).

As the image on the item is a little amateur-ish and the text is not centered I would assume that the item was (re)decorated by a hobbyist. The red mark - a plain 'x', no "crossed swords" by the way -...

Factory of Hugo Reinhold & Co. from the city of Bunzlau, Silesia.

Shown mark is often claimed to be of german origin, constantly backed up by some story and hints towards one of the larger german manufacturers. These stories are all false; items with this mark are everything...

"... as far as I know it can be checked by the numbers of the mold, painting and artist ..." There is no general number database which would allow you to simply enter a code and see who made an item,...

Your question WAS answered. Why should I try to prove the obvious to somebody that is evidently butthurt by an answer they did not expect? Not my fault if you can not understand that items (re)painted...

As you unselected my answer it appears that you did not like it. However that does not change a thing; the item is ruined no matter what the owner wants to see in it.

"History" is relative. It is an item formerly made at the factory of Lorenz Hutscherneuther; this item was then re-decorated by a hobbyist. Original creator, age or former item value all become irrelevant...

The Friedrich Simon business from Karlsbad (alt. spelling: "Carlsbad") in Austrian Bohemia was merely a decoration studio. As such the number of complete sets they produced was very small in comparison...

Sorry, this site does not alert uses when comments (instead of replies) are left so I only now saw your question. Following WW2 the Allies stationed their troops inside Germany and most barracks included...

You should visually check sites like Replacements.com because chances are that your pattern never had a name but a pattern code. Hold in mind that most German producers for various reasons simply did not...

The question is: where they actually SOLD for those prices or where that made-up price demands by potential sellers? Just asking. eBay, Ruby Lane and such can be very misleading when it comes to pricing....

French goods are not my glass of beer but I know some quite well. The color of Pouyat marks is irrelevant; also they added "France" on export items only, speaking against the World Fair theory as those...
