<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 429635, member: 136&quot;]Could it be German?</p><p><br /></p><p><i><font size="4"><b>Brunswick</b>. The elder of the two Brunswick factories - the Herzogliche Fabrik, whose wares are <b>generally marked V H in monogram</b> - began by producing pottery which was <b>clearly Dutch-inspired.</b> Some immensely tall tulip vases exist, remarkably well potted and painted with schematized trees with sponged foliage. The factory produced a number of figures, no coarser than those made at Delft, most occurring in blue monochrome as well as in simple high-temperature colours. This same predilection for plastic effects is shown in various baskets and plates with open basketwork edges and, more notably, in the relief ornament on various covered vases of heavy rococo shape, generally painted in blue and manganese. The Brunswick factory, with its early date and attractive, simple colouring, in which a curiously flat cobalt blue is characteristic, exerted a wide influence, and mention must also be made of jugs and mugs on which the crowned monogram AR, sometimes in cobalt blue, is shown on a powdered-manganese ground. These are often, wrongly, associated with Queen Anne: the cipher is that of Augustus Rex.</font></i></p><p><br /></p><p>from: <a href="http://www.noteaccess.com/APPROACHES/DecorativeAA/PGerman.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.noteaccess.com/APPROACHES/DecorativeAA/PGerman.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.noteaccess.com/APPROACHES/DecorativeAA/PGerman.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
