I have tried to look up the dating marks but just can’t seem to figure it out. There are two cut marks in the crossed swords. The cuts I have been told means they are “seconds” I honestly don’t know if these were made in the 1980s or 1880s. I believe they are old though. Very simplistic and beautiful. If I haven’t given the right details please let me know. Thank you again everyone. You all are an awesome wealth of knowledge and I for one learn a lot. 25573AEA-7AEE-4607-B261-DDB8BE9BA812.jpeg

    Don't know much about porcelain, but if it doesn't look 1750s to you, probably it's not Meissen (my book says after that there should be other elements, such as dots, fancy hilts, etc). Many copycats used the crossed swords throughout the 19th century. Seconds have the swords clearly "cancelled". Simplistic is not typical of the period anyway. Hope this helps.
