pottery mark 3 fleur de lis emblems JS:- Hi My name is Jim, My wife's grandmother has had this dish in the china cabanet for as long as my wife can remember, She just gave it to her & we asked about the mark on the bottom but no one could figure out what it reads, The dish is white china, with gold gilding, the lobster is arched to be used as a handle, we can read the # 0302 I just figured it was a mold #, it measures 10"x9"x3.5"

If anyone can tell us the name of the maker & date that would be great!!

Thanks

Jim

Thanks top all our contributors below who came to Jim's aid and solved this humdinger of a mystery.

I added a better photo of the mark as I could hardly see Jim's pottery mark photo.

The maker, as we now know is Joseph Schachtel
of Charlottenbrunn, Silesia, Germany (Poland)
founded 1859-c. 1920.

Not too much known about this maker - very small very obscure.

If you have any information please post....
