 MORE INFO ON THE MARK
by: mona

Yes the mark looks rough.so I agree with you. the mark should have been added later on. how strange. this jar looks like 100 years old.I wonder which company made it. there is a little x sign engraved in the ceramic. meissen perhaps?

Hi Mona. This is not at all Chinese. It looks very much European.
I can't see the stamp clearly as it is too small, but am I right with the assumption that it is applied over the glaze?
If you scratch the mark with a needle, does the color easily come off? I suspect that the mark was applied later. The reason for this is the areas below the current mark. Without closeup pictures it is difficult to tell, but it looks to me as if the original mark was removed, and another applied. Not sure though. If the spot feels rough it could be ... that the original mark was removed and another was added, to pass it off as Chinese.

BTW, when Chinese marks contain English it is usually just "CHINA" or "Made in China", with the old ones. Newer ones would have some Chinese characters above the English.
