<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 4346823, member: 50&quot;]There was a very good reply by Chris Marshall on an ebay discussion identifying it as H. Reinl.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Pottery-Glass-Porcelain/Czech-dinnerware-fruit-pattern-w-Crown-mark-and-Initials/m-p/25298209#M106116" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Pottery-Glass-Porcelain/Czech-dinnerware-fruit-pattern-w-Crown-mark-and-Initials/m-p/25298209#M106116" rel="nofollow">https://community.ebay.com/t5/Archive-Pottery-Glass-Porcelain/Czech-dinnerware-fruit-pattern-w-Crown-mark-and-Initials/m-p/25298209#M106116</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]360125[/ATTACH]</p><p><i>&quot;Shown mark represents the initials &quot;HR&quot; which originally stood for the proprietor, Mr. H. Reinl. What confuses most people is the location of this factory: while many people mention Lubenz (cz. &quot;Lubenec&quot;), others mention Hirschen (cz. &quot;Jeleny&quot;). Reinl later also owned a second factory in Töppeles (cz. &quot;Teplicka&quot;) but that is irrelevant here.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>As for Lubenz/Hirschen: a certain landmark near Lubenz was named &quot;am Hirschen&quot; (roughly &quot;where the stag is&quot;), namesake of a smaller group of farms in that area which soon was only called Hirschen; this later became a part of Lubenz. The factory was located between these two town areas but nearer to Hirschen, it was therefore often mentioned as actually being &quot;in Hirschen&quot; even if it was officially registered in Lubenz.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>Shown mark was used after 1945; at that time the factory was operating as member of the state-owned Karlovarsky Porcelan combine, using a pre-war mark with athe obvious &quot;CZECHOSLOVAKIA&quot; addition. The factory became fully integrated in the Karlovarsky Porcelan combine in 1958, from then on using branch-unspecific (generic) marks until 1993.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>So your set was made at the Karlovarsky Porcelan branch Lubenec between 1945 and 1958.&quot;</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
