Ludwigsburg, Volkstedt, or Meissen ??

Hi everyone!

I'm new here. Found a piece that took me a few hours to research. It's from Germany. I've seen it called both Ludwigsburg AND Volkstedt, and have seen that Meissen also worked on this piece!

This link discusses Meissen working for Ludwigsburg: https://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/germany/baden/ludwigsburg-01/index.php

It matches the marks for Ludwigsburg in 1759-1760.

I bought the piece because it appears to be a Brittany dog on it and I'm a Brittany lover.

Any help and guidance would be great. Price doesn't really matter because I'm keeping it, but I am curious what your pricing points would be! I bought it for $54!!

Thanks so much!

I'll give you $55! Good buy regardless.

Rontgen shows the mark as Ludwigsburg as well, but not that specific crown (nor does PMM with respect to the crown). That opens the door to the possibility of this being a spurious mark. It looks like a very good group, and a bargain for the price paid, but may be by some later company.

I don't have the information at hand, but the color palette could be an indicator of the date. Variety of colors grew over an extended period of time.

At least no one's calling it Chanel. Yet.

 

another site says this is a copy of Ludwigsburg mark by Carl Thieme in the 1980s. Scroll down to the mark on the lower right:
