Is this a Meissen?

by Steve Votaw

Is this a Meissen? 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 ledge able.

Help !!!

Hi

Many thanks for submitting, and hope you are finding the site useful.

Right now I am trying to finish a major sculpt to a deadline (see my Facebook page ….more), and have had loads of forum queries all at once, so I am finding it hard to research queries right at this moment. I will publish anyway and with a bit of luck, one of our knowledgeable contributors will help out on this one – (check out the comments section below for replies).

If not, I’ll try to get back to this one later. If you can’t wait and need to know soonest, use the expert referral service here:

My vintage and antique china values page

…which takes 2 days max and is really good value for $13.67 when you consider all other antiquarian online referral services are either much more expensive (most certified appraiser's charge $75.00 - $200.00 per hour, www.MyGrannysAtticAntiques.com charges $50 USD minimum charge , Worthpoint.com charges $10 UDS monthly membership fee, PLUS $20 USD each report, etc etc.)

For general advice on how to either price up your collection or find replacements for it, I wrote this page: The Searching Secrets To Finding Your China Replacement Online ….more.

For specific advice on how to ‘save a search’ on eBay (for pricing or finding your desired item) go here: How to easily find replacements, prices and information on vintage and antique china online ..... more
