Pottery and Porcelain Marks Gallery

Wednesday June 18, 2008
Have you visited the Pottery and Porcelain Marks Gallery on the site yet? Lots of people have, and I appreciate their favorable feedback. There are some names you might know like Metlox pottery, for example, and others you not so familiar including Sitzendorf porcelain. Sitzendorf manufactured porcelain figurines with a particular mark for more than 70 years. Take look at the mark so you'll recognize it the next time you're estate saling, and be sure to bookmark the gallery for future reference!

Many of the original metlox marks which look similar to this one and are authentic are smeared. We have many pieces that belonged to my husband’s parents that were purchased here in California when the factory was still active. Just as an FYI if it wasn’t already mentioned.
