[QUOTE="Fid, post: 4091332, member: 7724"]I don't see it but it doen't matter. JMHO. WMF was massproduced stuff and overpays in some countries today. except the bigger Jugendstil items that were only made in small numbers nothing stands the test of time. here you even see the traces of the lathe which was not the case in the good old days. furthermore the mark was one of the most faked. but all these problems were solved when WMF was running after the fast dollar by producing in China and selling it under made in Germany - especially household goods. I'm not allowed here to tell what a Munich auctioneer called it after that sell-out...Kruzitürken was the most harmless.:) I would not buy any piece of WMF anymore and kicked out appr. 50 about 15 years ago. some items were going directly to the dump because the ones made in Britannia have a problem with the surface deteriorating to an extent above rescue.
