What is the Dresden china mark?

1 Answer
What is the Dresden china mark?
There is no single Dresden porcelain mark because, over the years, the German maker employed many different markings to identify its pieces. Many pieces feature the letter N or a crown, while some display both. Dresden also used its wordmark with and without an image of a lamb. To determine whether a marking on a particular piece indicates Dresden porcelain, look up the mark using trusted online resources or enlist the services of a certified appraiser. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Dresden porcelain.
