    Hello, I would like to know the age, maker , and value of this? I can tell that one of the marks say same thing in German that means protected by law but the company mark with the X looks to have DKN or DKE underneath? Can anyone help with the maker age and value! I know the mark is hard to see but I can’t get it any clearer, Thanks 6939783C-8985-4BBD-9889-11924D52B670.jpeg 36DC67AC-1F40-4836-883C-526FC5599EBC.jpeg F1628F79-B8F7-4824-AF0F-953E9B327BB9.jpeg

    I think the second word is Geschutzt.

    The folks who know about porcelain may not be online or may be looking this up. Make sure to check back if you don’t get an answer right away. :)

    I believe your candlestick would best fall under the category of elfinware. I do not recognize the mark. It may not be an X. Crossed swords or rapiers is another possibility. Identifying the exact manufacturer is unlikely to increase value much, if at all, for this type of item. Probably dates to the very early 20th century. Not much in fashion at the moment. Value at $25 - $50 at best if pristine. Please always include the size of the object you are inquiring about. It can make a substantial difference in the value in some categories. I'm guessing about 6" - 8".

    Hi, the size is about 10 inches high and the marks are hard to capture because they are impressed. Thanks

    Can you tell me the first and last letters??
    I'm getting "?esetzlien resonutz?"
    The last work seems to be "resonate" in the Basque language according to google translate.
    Cheers

    Second word is Geschutzt - legally protected. Like patent. - all guesses.

    I know it says Gesetzlich Geschuzt, but I can’t tell the makers mark with the X or crossed swords with three letters underneath.

    Google translates it as "Protected by Law".

    Thank you for the responses! No ideas on the makers mark (The crossed swords or X with 3 letters on the bottom appears to be DRK.
