    Pretty little demitasse cup and saucer, all hand painted I believe. The first mark shown is on the cup, and it is a gilt blob (stemmed fruit?) covering a green Tettau mark, and a crown over D in blue. The saucer has the same markings, but the gilt is lighter so you can see the green mark under the gilt. The last 2 photos show the saucer mark, tilted differently into the light.
    So, I don't know what to make of the gilt blob. I am guessing the company that decorated this purchased blanks from Tettau? Then they added their own gilt blob and crown over D mark?
    From what I see on-line the decorator could be Helena Wolfsohn, or some other Dresden maker. I saw Karl-Heinz Klette also mentioned as using this mark, and others, but with a 5-pronged crown. Can anyone point me in the right direction for determining the maker? Thanks.

    Maybe the gilt mark is the importer?

    Very attractive.

    Decorated by a third party. The gold mark was meant to obliterate the mark of the manufacturer of the porcelain as that was not considered important. Decorators could combine pieces from different manufacturers in a given set. The hand drawn mark will be that of the decorator.
