Royal Bayreuth has been producing fine porcelain since 1794. While their figural items are arguably the most sought after items, those with scenic motifs follow closely. This cream sized pitcher is an example. It is decorated with a hunting scene. A man is shown poking a stick in a hole at the base of a tree, while 3 dogs anxiously wait nearby. The pitcher stands 4" tall and has a base diameter of 2". It is marked on the base with a blue mark, which dates it between 1870 and 1914...

This beautiful tea set was made by Thomas Marktredwitz some time between 1905 and 1908. To give you a bit of history on the company I am citing a web source called porcelainmarksandmore.com "In 1898 the first porcelain factory opened in the town of Marktredwitz and was known under the name of 'Porzellanfabrik Jaeger, Thomas & Co.' In 1903, Thomas decided to leave his partners and open his own factory. Based on the ideas Thomas introduced, success was nearly instantaneous for the new company...

Each dish measures 6 1/4" by 4" and is 7/8" high. 4 are in excellent condition, with some crazing (typical of 100 year old pieces)...

This beautiful plate was made in England by Wedgwood.

The building is at the center of each plate, surrounded by flowers and leaves. They are all blue in color. They are each marked with the "Wedgwood" mark, as well as the name of the building shown, and the year 1930...

However, the most famous celadons range in color from a very pale green crackle to deep intense green...

This beautiful piece was made by Royal Bayreuth before 1920. Royal Bayreuth was founded in Tettau, Bavaria, in 1794. While the factory has continued to modern times, the marks have changed through the years. A stylized crest, the name Royal Bayreuth, and the word Bavaria appear in slightly different forms from 1870 to about 1919. Later marks include the words U.S. Zone, the year of the issue, or the word Germany instead of Bavaria. This creamer depicts five sheep in a snow covered terrain. ...

This amazing stick handled demitasse coffee pot was made by Fiesta. The company discontinued this piece in 1944, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to find. It was only produced in red, cobalt, ivory, yellow, lt. green and turquoise. This example is in cobalt. It measures 6 1/4" tall, and has a 3 1/4" diameter at the opening. Unfortunately it has no lid. Otherwise, it is in excellent condition with no damage of any kind. This coffee pot lists for $610 (with lid, of course)
