J with R Marking on tea set

I have a tea set with the J combined with the R marking.
Need help to identify. This set was purchased at an estate sale in Niskayuna NY at Maureen O'Sullivans (Played Jane in original Tarzan) estate.
I've read some other listings that suggest this is french, but the marking is not quite the same. The mark on my tea set has more of a sweeping R.
I don't think it's Robert Joseph, is this a knock off or by another maker?

Thanks for your interesting query, I really appreciate the time and trouble you took to contact the site and share.

I think you have wares of the same mystery maker as described here:-

R pottery mark or J combined with an R submission page (make sure you scroll down to the lower section of the page for the further posts).

If you read the discussion, you will see I favour the small Dresden maker argument. But read the post and see what you think.

Did you find out who the J and R Pottery Mark maker was?

Wandering if you found out the maker. I have a piece of pottery marked with the same letters. Can't find it anywhere in the books or internet.

No luck yet. Hopefully someone will stumble across it and post the results.

Don't forget, in a previous post Kim describes how she took this mark to three separate expert appraisers and got three different answers - see J and R Mark (scroll right to the bottom to get the updates).

The one I favor is the Dresden maker answer. For me, it has to be a small Dresden maker/decorating shop, perhaps using older molds.

Here's what Kim told us the expert said:-

"Your piece is German but not Rauenstein but one of the smaller Dresden makers. I forget the name right now."

That's my bet.
