<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris Marshall, post: 247685, member: 206&quot;]<i>Roentgen</i>, bah! I have a complete essay talking about the dangers of translating company and factory names anchored on my site, see &quot;The Translation Bug&quot;, <a href="http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/resources/essays/translation-bug.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/resources/essays/translation-bug.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/resources/essays/translation-bug.php</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>The English mark description in this case is not only wrong in its dating, it is generally misleading and incomplete. Not only was the date range 1908-1912, the mark in itself belonged to the factory of <i>Richard Eckert</i> from <i>Volkstedt</i> (RWZR #115256).</p><p><br /></p><p>Next to this factory <i>Eckert </i>operated a minor art gallery in the city of <i>Dresden</i> which included a small porcelain decoration room and not only offered the service of firing items (re)decorated by hobbyists but also offered an assortment of blank versions of the figures made at his factory in <i>Volkstedt</i>. As to avoid confusion between his own figures and those created at the gallery, shown mark was used.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
