We have an incomplete set of Bavaria China, that has a lion on the back and says Kutschenreuther Selb Bavaria...also has a number 33 printed on it, and U.S. Patent 82581.
It has a floral pattern on the front. Does anyone have an idea what each piece or an incomplete set might be worth?
My family wants to sell it, so I need to get some ideas.
Even if its just what the pattern name is...

the "K" is an H in fancy script -
try here:
www.replacements.co m or here: www.edish.com
values you might find are high retail replacement - on a private sale you might receive 1/3 to 1/2 less. Post back if I can be of further assistance. Nice German porcelain.

Thanks for the links! I'm researching them now...
Here is a picture of one of the plates...

I looked at the site with the different lion marks, but didn't see one that looked like this one...and unfortunately I can't get a good pic of the back of the plate. I'll try to sketch it.

interesting - I missed the reference to the US patent number - these are NOT easy to research - Yikes !!
Okay - possibilty here: the "whiteware" was produced by Hutsch----etc. It was exported to the US for the design application - are there any indications that the design was handpainted? Applied designs "baked on" ie: transfer designs up close always have the look of "pixels". Hand painted has brush strokes, no matter how fine. Some porcelain has a combo of transferware with hand done details -
Good pics - and with a handdrawn backstamp you might be able to have replacements.com do a search for you - see site for instruction
Re: the backstamp: there's a great Germany site called:
www.porcelainmarksa ndmore.com It's privately maintained by the well-credentialed Chris Simon Marshall. No values here, but lots of backstamps wth dates. Best wishes, KB
