Is this a Meissen mark? - Faint white Kite shaped mark under glaze

Is this a Meissen mark? - Faint white Kite shaped mark under glaze:- I recently purchased this Monkey Teapot that looks like a Meissen at a Yard Sale. There are no Crossed Swords or Initials on it, But there is a Kite mark. Sure would be nice to find out that it is a Meissen. The Kite mark is under glaze and is not legible.

Help !!!

Meissen Monkey Business
by: Blake

Dear Steve,

It certainly looks like a Meissen Monkey Teapot. Compare it to the two Monkey Teapots pictured here:

I'm more familiar with the painted or written Meissen marks and don't no much about marks such as your teapot has. I will see what I can find in my books.

Yours, Blake

Hey Blake , Thanks for taking the time to post a reply. I have seen another 'Meissen' Monkey Teapot like mine on Ebay for $23.00. I asked the seller if it had any marks, and they replied it did not.I may go ahead and purchase it just to have a pair. Please let me know what you can find out.

Thanks Again,

Steve

Identical Meissen reproduction
by: Anonymous

Hi,
I have an identical teapot with the identical mark. I think it might be a Samson or a Helena Wolfsohn reproduction.
Has anyone come to a verdict on who made them?

Hi Everyone,lets sort this meissen monkey mess out!
Right lets make thing perfectly clear here,the teapot in question is no way meissen!!
There's just no quality in the piece, in any case meissen was porcelain,this example most definately isnt porcelain.
Kaendler designed the Meissen monkey in the 1730's,many can be found using google,just type in Meissen monkey teapot/images,hey presto!!
I have one of these 'copies' myself as i collect teapots and have done for over 20 years now.
Its as close as i'm gonna get to owning one of these master pieces, and marks underneath are irrelevant,its just not Meissen!Probably made in japan around 2000-2002?
