Well, yes, as the US is the current "superpower" country, English is the language of business, but I do think that English exploration had much to...
Is that CONN on the bottom of the label? Connecticut?
As faience (tin glazed pottery), Delft is easily chipped and cracked. Handle with care!
"French btw, was originally a Germanic language, but it has morphed into a Romance language. (Don't tell the French!:nailbiting:)" Too funny! I...
Sorry, no bites. :sorry:
Great vase. The designers you mentioned made designs for Rosenthal's "studio linie" (studio line) and those are/were quite saleable -- very MCM...

Tissue paper and a light pencil rubbing might work...
Going just with what the items look like, it's not KPM Berlin. There is another "KPM" which is a German manufacturer. I can't remember --...
