Hi Colleen

Many thanks for your nicely merged photos, good work and a very good reference for all searching for similar information on RWC or RCW Porcelain Mark, Bavaria.

As I say, I am not an expert in this area, but I try my best to help. Normally, the authority on this type of German / Bavarian porcelain mark is a website called www.porcelainmarksandmore.com

Nothing search-able came up with them, which surprised me. I found nothing in Kovels under triangles marks either. Google searches were also not too helpful. This company and it's porcelain marks must therefore be quite small and obscure.

I then did a bit more digging and found this company listed as the Retsch & Co Porcelain Factory of Wunsiedel, Bavaria, Germany. The date of establishment was hard to pin down as various accounts say different dates. Some say founded in 1854, some 1884, some 1885 and others 1891.

Some report the company as surviving to this day and others say it closed in 2006. I found an address for them, so it might be worth checking if you really want to know.

Porzellanfabrik Retsch GmbH & Co. KG
Egerstraße 132
95632 Wunsiedel, Deutschland
09232 972-0

This "RCW Bavaria" backstamp, is reported to have been first used post World War I. I then looked under "Retsch" in Kovels and found the same flower device porcelain mark (minus the triangle) in the 'flower section'. According to Kovels the flower without the triangle dates from the 1950's on.
