<p>[QUOTE="Boring Mysteries, post: 9435411, member: 80794"]I guess my main reason is just the appearance of the signature itself. In comparison with the few examples I was able to find (I had difficulty with this) it just seems to be odd. That doesn't preclude it being authentic, but it also lacks any other marks that would be associated with Meissen/Dresden porcelain. Granted, it does seem - based on what I saw online - like some early Potshappel stuff bears no marks or signatures at all. Maybe it being a forgery is more far-fetched than it being a signed piece, but I don't know. I'm not well-versed in this area...seems to me it is extremely involved. After all it took me hours just to figure out that it was a Thieme signature despite the plethora of makers mark catalogue sites available. I guess that may say more about my research skill or lack thereof. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
