Title: Can Anyone Identify this Logo from this Antique Cherub Porcelain Bowl?
Post by: gjwinston on October 10, 2009, 11:48:00 AM

Hi All...

I'm hoping this is the right forum for this type of question...  If not, I apologize...  Reader's digest version:  I have what appears to be a porcelain cherub bowl.  I got it from my father when mom got sick and he "downsized" his home.  I believe he got it many years ago from his parents, who collected antiques.  I tried to take a photo of the logo on the bottom of the bowl (attempted to attach to this post), but it's a little fuzzy.  I was hoping someone here might be able to identify.  I'm not looking for age/value, etc.  I'm just curious who made the bowl (for now).  Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide...  happy saturday!  - gw

What do you think Ironlord/railman/D&b/tales/sapphire/etc?

Looks like it says Dresden - but doesn't look like any mark I have seen....but they had so many painters.....  Chris could probably answer this with his eyes closed!

It may give us a clue to style and age.  I have looked a bit for this hallmark and tend to agree with KC.  Does it look like it says Dresden?

   Wow what a beauty, agree looks like something done in Dresden.  Appears very Victorian too Mid to late 19th century.  Nice relief art embellishments, the center art is it handpainted or tranfer art.  It has the overall look of something over 100 years old too.  Wow nice piece, thanks for sharing.

Dresden was known for it's work that closely resembled Meissen. $175.00 Dollars would be a fair price.
