'M' Pottery Porcelain Mark Under Beneath Crown Reply
by: Peter (admin)

According to www.efineantiques.com/webpages/fine_porcelains.htm

This is the mark of Von Schierholz Porcelain Factory, Plaue, Thuringia, Germany. This mark was put into use in 1973 after the factory was nationalized and renamed. It is now known as Porcelain Manufactory Plaue, thus, the PMP part of the mark under the crown. (Source: Marks on German, Bohemian, and Austrian Porcelain, Revised Edition, 2007, by Rontgen, pages 145 and 462)
