<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Christine Steingass, post: 13100453, member: 114460&quot;]Good observation on the base color. I went back through the references after reading your comment, and I don&#039;t think the beige base by itself rules out the Campina connection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dorotheum&#039;s catalogued Campina examples actually describe several different ceramic body colors. One is specifically described as &quot;beige-bodied,&quot; another as &quot;yellowish-grey,&quot; while others are described simply as light-bodied ceramic. The undersides also aren&#039;t completely uniform: documented examples have combinations of stamped factory marks, impressed/embossed model numbers, painted numbers and incised characters.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/8430100/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/8430100/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/8430100/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/7456090/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/7456090/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/7456090/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And this Campina example has an embossed model number and additional embossed/painted numbers but apparently no factory stamp mentioned in the catalogue description:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/8430088/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/8430088/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/8430088/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So I absolutely agree that OP&#039;s beige bottom is an important difference from those three photographed white-glazed bases. I just wouldn&#039;t use that difference alone to exclude Campina/Riessner, Stellmacher &amp; Kessel yet. The decoration still deserves comparison with documented Campina production.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m keeping this as a possible attribution rather than a positive identification until we can find a documented example matching both the decoration AND the underside/base treatment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
