<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Iconodule, post: 11384820, member: 91417&quot;]Yes, <i>gesetzlich geschützt =</i> “legally protected,” which its driving me nuts.&nbsp; Why German on a plate &quot;MADE IN ENGLAND&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmm.. speculation here...&nbsp; Could it mean that the fruit designs (signed M. Langbroek on a Homer Laughlin plate with the pear design) are by a &quot;legally protected&quot; German artist, but that Minton had permission to use it?&nbsp; But Langbroek seems more Dutch (Nederlands) than Deutsche. </p><p><br /></p><p>A &quot;Worthpoint&quot; entry says plates in a very different style/subject are &quot;by well known Dutch artist M. Langbroek,&quot; but if s/he is so well-known why not give his/her first name?&nbsp; I suspect there are a lot of plates signed with that name. Which does not solve the problem of a German legal protection notice on a British plate.</p><p><a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-langbroek-well-known-dutch-artist-517758352" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-langbroek-well-known-dutch-artist-517758352" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vtg-langbroek-well-known-dutch-artist-517758352</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
