Porcelain marks symbols
There is a long tradition of porcelain marks, and it is common that symbols are used, such as a crown or swords. Precisely because of the porcelain brand symbols, it is difficult to know the manufacturer of the porcelain piece without knowing from whom the symbol comes, unless there is still a text next to, below, above or in the symbol, which suggests the manufacturer or even names him. Such written additions can be found for example at Silesia or Ohme.
Among other things, the following porcelain mark symbols are distinguished, although they can also be letters:
- Porcelain mark with crown
- Porcelain mark K with crown/li>
- Porcelain mark crown S
- Porcelain mark N under crown
- Porcelain mark crown 3 oak leaves
- Porcelain mark R with crown
- Porcelain mark PM with crown
- Porcelain mark porcelain sign N with crown
- Porcelain mark beehive
- Porcelain mark swords
- Porcelain mark arrow
- Porcelain mark crossed arrows
- Porcelain mark eagle
- Porcelain mark lion
- Porcelain mark fox
- Porcelain mark fish
- Porcelain mark swan
- Porcelain mark 3 firs
- Porcelain mark maple leaf
- Porcelain mark with candle
- Porcelain brand umbrella
- R porcelain brands
- Porcelain mark H
- Porcelain mark S
- Porcelain mark M
- Porcelain mark HS
Porcelain marks of different manufacturers
There is and was a multitude of porcelain manufactories and porcelain factories in Germany, but also in France, Italy, England, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, but of course also outside of Europe, in Japan and China.
If one wanted to distinguish porcelain marks by location-specific origin, one would distinguish, for example, as follows:
- German porcelain marks

- Porcelain Marks Delfter Porcelain Stamps
- Winterling Porcelain Marks
- Plaue Porcelain Marks
- R Porcelain Marks
- Ludwigsburg Porcelain Marks
- Fraureuth Porcelain Marks

And finally, porcelain marks can also be distinguished according to style or style epoch:
- Jugendstil Porcelain Marks/li>
- Art Nouveau Porcelain Marks
- Bauhaus Porcelain Marks
- Art Deco Porcelain Marks
- China Blau Porcelain Marks
- Indisch Blau Porcelain Marks
There is expensive porcelain with marks, but there is also cheap porcelain with marks. The fact that the porcelain has a brand, is not a criterion for a porcelain piece or for a porcelain service to be valuable. There is also new
porcelain with marks and old porcelain with marks, but even the age of the porcelain does not automatically mean that the porcelain is also expensive, although a really old piece is of course worth more for historical or archaeological reasons.
And there are hand painted porcelain marks and not hand painted porcelain marks, but sometimes it says “hand painted” (or in German “handgemalt”) with the porcelain mark, to inform, that the drawings are hand painted. So “handgemalt” is not a porcelain mark itself, but means “hand painted”.
Procedure of identification service
With us you can order an identification service to determine your porcelain mark or to determine your porcelain mark symbols. This costs 8.99 Euro per piece of porcelain, whereby the payment is only to be made if I can actually identify the porcelain mark or symbol.
If you would like to pay in Swiss Francs, 8.66 CHF would have to be paid. If paying in US dollars, the amount would be 9,79 USD. The payment would be due only after you have received the information from me, from whom the porcelain mark or symbol comes. You can then pay by wire transfer, either to my German bank account or to my Swiss bank account (however, foreign wire transfers may incur additional bank fees). You can also pay with PayPal.
Alternatively, you can also send me the photos of the mark/stamp/signature to be identified to the following e-mail address, especially if the respective photo has a file format that cannot be sent via the above contact form:
