Hutschenreuther Hohenburg Pattern ID?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify this pattern, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere. The mark on the back of the plates would indicate that it is Hutschenreuther in Hohenburg, but I have searched everything I can think of and come up empty handed. Any ideas?

Thanks!

 

Is this the pattern? https://www.replacements.com/webquote/huthut964.htm

I can't really see the pattern on the place settings all that well. It's a beautiful pattern and I especially like the platters.

But I think it likely you won't find an actual pattern name for it.

 

Hi Regoods!

Welcome to Antiquers..............

 

Thank you!!

 

Close, but not quite. This one has gold trimming around it. My first instinct, based on other China I've been around, was to call it Bridal Rose. But man am I having a hard time finding anything like it!

 

I can't find that mark on PM&M so I was wondering how you discovered that it's for Hutschenreuther?

 

I based it off another post from this site (in April 2019) of someone inquiring about the mark, and a few other searches showed it's called the crown tower mark, used between approx. 1893-1903. Perhaps it's incorrectly attributed, though? Because like I said, I cannot find tell of this pattern anywhere at all.

 

Rontgen shows the mark as C.M. Hutschenreuther, c1928, but also says it's a decorator mark (so I don't know what to make of that).

 

Spent ages writing a long and extensive answer, then *POOF* forum tells me to shove off. No draft saved, no nothing, post lost. It is 2020, not 1990.

Short (unfriendly and uninformative):
- C.M. Hutschenreuther art department
- registered December 29th 1893, used until 1903.

 

Thank you! Sorry for the wasted time. Actually, an answer you gave a woman before is how I even knew it was Hutschenreuther, I just can't find the darn pattern anywhere to try and give it a remote value.

 

Unfortunately the value is going to criminally low for such a nice set of china.

The only thing that might save this set is that pink roses are favored, however selling a large set like this will not be easy.

Folks just don't entertain with large dinner parties anymore & even holidays don't rate the use of the "good china".

I will admit that I am guilty of the holiday thing. I have my Mother's china, but haven't eaten off of it in quite a few years. It has a platinum band so it has to be hand washed & it is just so much easier to use the stuff that can be put into the dishwasher.

 

The one or two times I've been able to sell a large antique set like this has been in the antique mall where I have a couple of spaces. It took some time but both sales were to people who gave the set as a wedding gift. One was a lady from the South and they tend to like their elegant tables. The other was to a lady who just really liked the set and I convinced her that if the bride was careful with it, there were enough pieces that she didn't need to add/replace anything.

What the set has going for it besides being very pretty is its age, which unfortunately, is also the main thing going against. That would be because it has to be hand washed and there is no availability of replacement pieces.

 

Oh I know, it's the same as silver flatware. I just like being able to identify what I'm selling, and at least give it a range of price. Some China sets that size I'd put at $100 to start for it all, some at $300. In the end, I'll sell them for whatever I can get, really.

 

@ReGoods Where do you usually sell large sets? I can't imagine shipping all of what you show in the photos. When I put large sets like that at my antq mall, I even feel sorry for the people there who have to pack it up enough just to get it to someone's car in one piece. (well, a little sorry, at least)

When I don't get much for really old china or silver, I just think about the fact that at least it was saved from the landfill. Don't want those future archeologists to be gluing it all back together.
