<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 340076, member: 308"]Yes, in fact most crossed swords marks are fakes. In the case of Meissen the mark is the last thing to trust. I am not qualified to state whether the candlestick is real Meissen or not. I would note, though, that the bottom edge looks a bit rough. I would expect a Meissen piece to be much smoother. Close up of the details on the candlestick (e.g. the face, the flowers, the connector) might provide more clues. </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
