    Does anyone recognize the signature below the mark on this bowl? There is a line in french that reads (roughly) "Fine porcelain decorated with fine gold", but I can't tell for sure what the signature reads.

    I've included pics of the bowl plus mark. The third picture shows the signature, which I have sharpened a bit. Thanks! ... Dave

    It's a decorator mark. The bowl was made by one company and decorated by another. That big mark covers the mark of the porcelain manufacturer. I can see the other mark underneath, but can't make it out.

    I see the Germany and something ending "ruth". Still looking for a matching mark, but looks like a promising lead. Thank you!

    Or "reuth" which makes more sense.

    The maker of the blank is not important.
