impressed crown, Schaefer and Vater
by: Kathy

I think your mark may be Schaefer (or Schäfer) and Vater of Rudolstadt, Germany. The crown is above a nine-pointed star with an R for Rudolstadt in the middle. The marks aren't always 100 percent clear.

9 Point Star Pottery Mark beneath Crown - Germany
by: Peter (admin)

Kathy

This is a brilliant piece of contribution to the website - you are the star of the week!

I have looked up this 9 pointed star mark with an R mark and can confirm you are right. This mark is that of Schafer & Vater of Rudolstadt, Thuringia, Germany, founded in in 1890 and survived into quite modern times, being nationalised in 1972 by the Soviet regime. For more full details, go to www.bergsengs.com.

I did look this mark up several times, but I missed it because for some weird reason Kovels catalog this mark under 'crown and shield' rather than in the 'star marks' section. I would never have thought of looking under 'shield' to describe this mark.

The other reason is the blurred photo - I did not see the R in the center of the star. I have this mark listed in the crown and R marks section and had forgotten about it (too many crown marks to remember).

Well done and thanks again to Kathy.

Schafer And Vater figurine
by: DNRoss

I can't believe that I actually FOUND your webpage and the mark that you show is EXACTLY what's on the bottom of my figurine! I can't find anything further, however, about my exact figurine. It's about 5 inches high and it is a "Beethoven-looking" man playing a violin. He has a frown on his face, and in the back of his head there are 35 holes. There is also a hollow area at the bottom which makes me think it might be a toothpick holder or inkwell.... Does anyone have a clue how I can find out further about this particular item? It has a number which looks like 8535 or 5880 above the crown.... I can send a photo if need be.

Thanking anyone in advance!
