Thank you for the answer. I was for the first time in my life strolling around a fleemarket and happened to walk by this plate of Johann Maresh. It caught my eye so I just put it in my basket and payed a few swedish kronor. My second item bought for its beauty. (The first item was a Persian carpet for "economical crises price" wich I bought this spring just because I needed to replace an old one from my parents. It's a beatuful glancy relatively sparcely decorated Mashad.) If there will be an continuation of this new interest remains to be seen.

Now I have found out that the artist behind the two small circles inside a big circle was Mûsterschutz, as can be seen i the foto I attach.

Comment on Musterschutz, and follow up question by: Roger Carlson
Hello everybody !
The name Musterschutz om JM objects comes along not only with the two small circles inside a slightly larger circle mark, but also with other mark.
The follow up question is:
First, I understand JM stands for maker/"factory"
Then, is Musterschutz the artist/designer ? I belive it must be.
And at last. Could the little mark/sign that comes along represent the sculptor or moulder or perhaps painter of specific object ?
Mustershutz JM by: Anonymous
I am in possession of a wall plaque with the Mustershutz signature and sign (a circle within a circle) and wondered if it is the same as the one being discussed here?
Does anyone know where I can go to find out its value or put it up for auction?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joan from Canada
