Title: Can't find this pottery mark
Post by: icedgold10 on February 17, 2014, 04:05:01 PM

Having a hard time getting a pic that the mark shows on.  It is impressed , looks like MM   on top of an A.  I have been searching and can't find it.

Is this a shortbread mold? or a candy dish?

Ding Ding!!!

I have a hankering (my family would say an obsession, LOL) for all odd and exclusive dinnerware, dishes, serving pieces, silver, etc.

Thinking this is one of those odd things.  I found it in the decoration section of a Goodwill.  They thought it was a candy dish too.  lol   It's a really nice mold.  I was looking on Ebay and couldn't believe how much some Brown Bag molds cost.  We sell those where I work.  I'm thinking of getting some and saving them for 10 years till they are a hot item on Ebay,  lol

Rather than MM over A I thought it looked more like mountains !! Like some you see from Scandinavian countries !! But couldn`t find anything !! I thought maybe Alpine Pottery but it wasn`t their mark !!
