    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    From what little I can see, the Worthpoint site seems to have the closest "looking" mark....and what they're showing is VERY faint!!!! Here's all I could do with the bottom mark on @gauntlettgems jug......both contrasted, top inverted, bottom not....

    Does the bulldog have a small hole in his mouth?

    Items like these can also be intended as string dispensers, with a ball of string/twine placed inside with the end of the string threaded out the opening in the front.

    The mark is that of Schafer and Vater

    Gustav Schaefer and Guenther Vater founded the Schaefer & Vater Porcelain Factory in Volkstedt Rudolstad, Thuringa, Germany in 1890.
