Peter, you were responding to the above question by Margaret. The mark can be found in Kovel's mark book on page 84 c-d ..

It is a mark from W Goebel of W germany (W over G).

Just a heads up.

I checked out my various reference books and could not find the exact mark, although it bears a similarity to the Hochst factory mark of Mainz, Germany who produced wares in the 18th Century. Their marks varied, but often featured a round wheel with spokes, sometimes with a crown, I can't see from your photo whether the mark under the crown is a small squashed wheel with spokes or not. Certainly, the crown device looks a similar shape.

Be aware that the genuine Hochst mark found rarely and Hochst type marks are often identified as 'spurious' by auctioneers.

Continue your own research from that point.

Best regards
