Post by: ebizcraftsman on April 12, 2008, 02:52:38 PM

Hello Everyone..

 I have been looking EVERYWHERE to find out what this China is worth. I can not find one single piece of it on the internet LOL.. Guess it does not exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

HEre is the details :

Numbered set including sauces, cups, large pitcher, small plates

  It seems to have maybe Silver edges and inlay in the middle.. Its slightly tarnished, but rubs off.

Being it is stamped "made in germany u.s zone" means it was produced in West Germany after the end of WWII, and maybe in the American controlled sector of Berlin. Probably brought or sent home by a US soldier stationed there. Similar marked Japanese pottery is marked "occupied Japan".
