Meissen ID question

Hello again friends!

I'm trying to figure out some info on this Meissen cup I have. I found one source that dates it at 1852-1870 and deemed "unsuitable for sale" by the double slash qualifying marks through the main mark (https://appletreedeals.com/meissen-german-porcelain/meissen-porcelain-history-factory-marks/). I'm hoping somebody here with more experience can provide additional details. Thank you so much!

 

According to Rontgen, 2 slashes indicate slightly flawed porcelain - a factory second. You might have to search to find the flaw. Not unsaleable, but not of the highest quality.

 

Zwiebelmuster or blue onion pattern, one of the most enduring patterns seen on Meissen and other European porcelain. I like the feature of hiding the crossed swords mark at the foot of the plant stem. Handpainted, of course. Note that the base has a full set of marks, painted and impressed.

 

i've never noticed the swords, on the design........... neat - o !!!

 

( i hope you were not in the path of the bushfires.....)

 

Thanks for your concern, luckily the wind was blowing from the east or south east, taking the fire away from us. Tragic for the many with houses in its path. We live about a half hour drive from the general area. Several year ago, a fire was bearing down on us and only a sudden change in wind direction saved the day. We were given 5 minutes to evacuate but I stayed put.

 

I'm glad u stayed.........safe !!!
