Biscuit Jar

Q: I have a biscuit jar that has two marks on it, one that says “J & C, Louise, Bavaria,” and one with a crown over a circle. It says “High Art Semi-Hand-Painted” around the circle. The letters in the middle are faded. I’ve looked at all the crown marks on your website and can’t find this mark. Is it a fake or what is it?

A: The “J & C” mark was used by Jaeger & Co. of Marktredwitz, Bavaria, Germany. The pottery was in business from 1898 until 1979, when it was sold to the Sebring Co. of Bari, Italy. The factory closed in 1986. Jaeger & Co. made household, hotel, and decorative porcelain and sold porcelain blanks to decorating studios in the United States and other countries. After 1945, most of the company’s porcelain was sold in Germany. The “J & C, Bavaria” mark was used between 1898 and 1923. “Louise” is the name of the series. The crown mark isn’t a fake, it’s the decorator’s mark. Unfortunately, the initials are too faded to read.

 

 

 

Arzberg Coffeepot

Q: I have a porcelain coffeepot that was my mother’s, so I know it’s at least 50 years old. There are two marks on the bottom. One is a circle with “Germany” and then another circle inside that. The other mark is a crown above a shield with the initials “P” and “A” in opposite corners and “Arzberg, Bavaria” below the shield. I’d like to know what it’s worth.

A: This shield mark with initials was used by porcelain factory Arzberg, Bavaria, Germany. The factory operated under various names and owners starting about 1887. It was called Porzellanfabrik Arzberg (Porcelain Factory Arzberg) beginning in 1927. This mark was used from 1927 to 1946. Arzberg Porcelain has been part of Rosenthal GmbH since 2015. A similar Arzberg coffeepot sold for $30.

Carl Schumann Mark

Q: I recently picked up a Bavarian porcelain bowl with a beautiful painted scene. It has a rectangular shield-shaped mark with a crown-like top and the letter “A” beneath the crown. The shield has the letters “C” and “S” with the word “Bavaria” diagonally between them. Can tell me anything about it?

A: This mark was used from 1892-1923 by the Carl Schumann Porcelain Factory of Arzberg, Germany. Carl’s father, Christian, and his partner started the factory under the name Schumann & Riess in 1881. Carl inherited the factory after Christian died in 1884. His mother ran the factory until 1896. In 1892, when Carl turned 21, the factory was renamed Carl Schumann G.m.b.H. & Co. K.G. The company stayed in the family and was run at various times by Carl’s mother, Carl, and his son, also named Carl. The name changed slightly in 1923 to Carl Schumann A.G.. In 1990 they joined another company to become Carl Schumann Arzberg Colditz Freiberg. The factory closed in 1994.

Bavaria Espresso

Q: I received this espresso set about 10 years ago as a wedding present from a German lady. She got them 30 to 40 years ago as a present for coming into her church. They are marked “Bavaria” above a flower and “Schirnding Qualitats-Porzellan” below it. What can you tell me about them?

A: Your espresso set was made by Schirnding Porzellan. The company started as a decorating studio in Schirnding, Bavaria, Germany, in 1901. The factory began making whiteware about 1904. There were changes in ownership, mergers and name changes over the years. The main office moved to Arzberg, Germany, in 2000, and the name changed to Arzberg-Porzellan G.m.b.H. in 2004. The company became part of Rosenthal in 2015. This mark was used between 1949 and 1956. It is sometimes used with “West Germany” underneath it. Since your set doesn’t include that country identification, it was not made for export to the United States but for sale in Germany.

PM Mark

Q: I’m trying to find out about a mark on a plate that belonged to my great-great grandmother, who came from either Poland or Austria, we aren’t which but that general area. I have searched for this mark but can’t seem to find anything. Do you know the maker?

A: This mark with a crown, “P” over “M” in a wreath, and “Bavaria” was used by Porzellanfabrik Moschendorf (Moschendorf Porcelain Factory), a factory operating under that name in Moschendorf, Bavaria, from 1895 to 1937. It was taken over by Porzellanfabrik Otto Reinecke in 1937. A blurry mark was used from 1895 to 1910. A clear version was used on items made for export from 1895 to 1910.

Q: I have a pair of painted china bowls given to me 50 years ago by an English cousin who said they belonged to his mother. The bottom is stamped with a lion in a shield. The word ‘Bavaria’ is above the shield and ‘Schumann’ below it. What can you tell me about the maker?
