<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 10485108, member: 35"]Huh, looking at the Austria mark you posted along with the France mark, they are pretty much identical, so the same company operating in Austria and France? AI <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />suggests that the mark is based on the "miraculous medal," so perhaps the strong vertical mark is an "I" (possibly the first letter of Jesus which is often abbreviated to IHS, the first 3 letters of Jesus in Greek). Looking at various images, it seems that the Austria one is more common. I'm wondering if it was a decorating firm rather than a porcelain factory. Here is an image of a miraculous medal: [ATTACH=full]527360[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
