    IMG_2471.jpeg IMG_2472.jpeg IMG_2474.jpeg IMG_2475.jpeg IMG_2476.jpeg I have a piece of porcelain with the markings of Helena Wolfsohn on the bottom. I have not seen another before. Does anyone know anything about this piece?

    Helena Wolfsohn was a decorating factory in Dresden, so I doubt a third party, but I would like to see the mark.

    I think that mark is around 1900 according to Chris's site. (porcelainmarksandmore). I wonder if that decoration is looking forward stylistically rather than copying traditional decoration.

    The background motif to the portrait is Art Nouveau.
