Meissen or Fake Meissen

Hi All!

I have recently aquired two beautiful ewer type jugs and believe the signature could be Meissen..

Upon close inspection the swords possibly may not actually be Meissen but a very good fake (which is still fine as they are fabulous).

What do you think? Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks

Rosie ☺

 

I don't see the quality I would expect in true meissen. Blue background slops over or under the design outline. Also looks quite new without age, for whatever that is worth.

 

Agree with Jeff re: quality.

Also, Meissen is still (!) in business, and you can contact them for an opinion.

 

I hadn't even thought of doing that! Thanks so much for your input ☺

 

Thank you Jeff, I'd also been looking at the sword mark on the bottom and it just looks slightly different to the old Meissen marks so I think they most probably are fakes. Even so they are lovely and cost nothing ☺

 

I don't think they're fake Meissen; people have been using a crossed swords mark for ages. These wouldn't even fake me out into thinking I had Meissen.

 

Possibly Japanese import, or other European factory, I think. May have had a sticker with country of origin on it. Definitely not Meissen.
