Hi all. I've recently become interested in china and have acquired some nice pieces. I have one piece that has the maker mark under the glaze and the national eagle on top. Somebody told me these were reproductions, that they were always marked under the glaze along with the other marks. I remember reading somewhere that the German china manufacturers also made china for export and did not place the Nazi marks on all of their pieces prior to glazing and firing. Some of these that ended up used by the Nazis were marked later. Does anyone know what the story is on this? Mike
Hi all. A friend has asked me if I know anything about this. I don't and I was unable to find anything either. Anybody know anything about it.? Sorry about the quality of the pictures but they are what I was given. Mike
Hi guys. Did they produce these with double color piping like this? I spotted this for sale yesterday and thought it looked funny. I've seen a lot of tabs but I don't think I've ever seen any like this. Mike
Hi Paul. Well, one look told me that it was brand new. The color, the ridge around the outside that is characteristic of a modern embroidered patch. I also looked at the material the patch was made of and it looks very modern to me. And the big giveaway, I just recently saw these for sale at a flea market for about $9 each. Mike
I see what you mean about the picture. It does look blue or black doesn't it? Must be the camera. I held some black and navy blue material next to it and it's for sure a dark green. Always happy to share! Mike
Thanks. I've blacklighted it and nothing glows. But just from the fact that the paper backing is still partially there, and it has all those little "things" you like to see tells me it's a good one. Mike
