How do you identify German pottery?
1 Answer
To identify German pottery, look over the base or interior for the maker's markings. Many pieces will bear some type of stamp, sticker or other marking, which you can research using trusted online resources to learn who made them. From there, you can read about the maker to determine if the company or artisan is German. Some well-known German makers include Hutschenreuther, Meissen, Arzberg, Fürstenberg, Nymphenburg, Gmundner Keramik, Royal Porcelain Manufacture Berlin, Kahla and Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur. If you can't find any maker's markings, consider having a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you. Find a wide variety of German pottery on 1stDibs.
