Title: Prussia Plate
Post by: Scarecrow on July 26, 2005, 07:57:15 AM

I am hoping someone might be able to assist me in some research as I am grasping at straws. I recently acquired a very pretty plate that has a Prussia stamp on the back of the plate.  The brand or whatever is partially gone...it is V???ELOCK (could be just two letters unreadable.  Then it has Trade I Mark the mark is red and green and the top is a half wagon wheel.  I am just curious to the maker and possibly year.  (It is not for sale, but a family treasure that I would just like to know more about)!  Thanks for any guidance!

No, I didn't find yours, but perhaps the maker of your plate is B Bloch & Co., later the Eichwald porcelain co - or Beyer & Block, tho' I cant find a wagon wheel mark for those companies -

One thing for sure- your plate dates to at least the 1890's because Prussia as a country or principality got absorbed mostly into Germany.  Best wishes in your continued searches.    KB
