Pottery Mark Query - 'R' with Crown Above and Laurel Wreath around 'R'

Pottery Mark Query - 'R' with Crown Above and Laurel Wreath around 'R':- My mom received this cake plate with pedestal in the 1970s as a Christmas gift from her employer. If I recall correctly, she picked it out of a book of items you could order based on your seniority.

The plate was made in Germany and is white with gold flowers and scroll work on the both plate itself and the pedestal.

I've searched and searched and can't locate the manufacturer associated with this stamp. Can you help?

Thanks for any direction that you can provide.

NOTE: I wasn't able to load a second picture. I can forward one of the item if you would like.

Hi Toni

You can upload a second picture simply by using a second submission form (unfortunately the form only allows one pic at a time). An easier way to do it is to merge your two photos into one image, and upload that.

(If you're not sure what I'm going on about, have a look at this great example of a merged photo. If you don't know how to merge photos, use my photo-merge service).

Here's a shortcut to the submission form for the pottery marks public forum as I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the item too.

Anyway, the "R" mark with a wreath shown is a completely new one to me.

The only well known German mark close to this is the RS with a wreath by Reinhold Schlegelmilch Porcelain manufacturer in Suhl Germany founded in the 1800s.

They exported much to the US but had a RS Wreath often with the word 'Prussia' written on.

That's about as far as I can go, I'm afraid. For a more definitive answer, use my 'Bring In The Professionals' page to contact a specialist appraiser. You don't have to pay any money upfront to use this unique service, and I've designed it especially to protect my visitors from wasting time and money online.

Same Problem with Pottery Mark - 'R' with Crown Above and Laurel Wreath around 'R'
by: Frans van Leeuwen

Hello,

We've been searching around the net for this same porcelain mark and are very curious what you've found out about it.
We have a blue vase with silver (japanese like) flower decorations and we are very curious to know where it's from or who made it.
The only history we know is that my father bought it in Russia at the end of world war 2...
Please help us out if you can?!

kind regards,

Frans van Leeuwen, Holland.

Hi, i have two wonderful porcelain sets - dinner and tea - with the same mark. in addition it has "Made in German Democratic Republic" sign under it. the sets were bought in former Soviet union in 1981-82. i am looking for manufacturer because some of pieces were broken and I want to replace them.
Found Answer "R" with Crown above and Laurel wreath
by: Beth K

I have the same pottery and found the answer on the site link http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/german_general1.htm

The mark indicates these are from the Reichenbach Porcelain Factory of Reichenbach, Thuringia, Germany. The GDR part of the mark is for "German Democratic Republic" (East Germany) which was established in 1949 and ended in 1990. Based on that, the pottery was made no earlier than 1949 and possibly as late as 1977 when the company put a different mark into use (Source: Directory of European Porcelain by Danckert, page 383).
