Featured Gien Faience Mark

I just bought this. I don't have it yet so these are seller's photos. The mark was introduced in 1875 but I found a reference online which says that it was still being used after 1936.

Does anybody have any thoughts on the date? It is transfer printed in the Delft Bleu style.

I found a free app The Field Guide To Gien Porcelain Marks but it is only available on android and I've only got Apple.

 

Can't seem to find it in the Google play store, sorry.

 

This was where I found it https://www.amazon.com/field-guide-Gien-porcelain-marks/dp/B00M22DN3A

 

that's really nice !!!!

 

Ditto!

 

Hmm, not tried to install an app from Amazon before - the developers site link isn't working for me on the Amazon listing too.

 

Thanks for looking

 

This site says after 1875.

The pdf file cited is not available, but the Gien site is:

Yes I saw that thread which quotes 1875 but this comprehensive site says still used after 1935. I wondered how long after 1935 it was used.

 

Excuse my ignorance, what is this used for please?

 

It’s a letter rack.

 

Thanks

 

Sorry to add to the confusion the website I use for Gien say 1900 with no end date given. https://www.infofaience.com/en/marks/gien-marks?start=40

It is absolutely lovely.

 

It's the same web site, but the mark is on p.2.

 

Yes. You are right, that is the better likeness; but still not the same as the letter rack. I think it has been drawn rather a photograph of the mark.

 

Oh well. No need to know now ☹️

 

Oh bother

 

Oh John..... It was so pretty. I hope you can get a refund.

 

It's been refunded. Such a shame. The seller insists that it was well packed but I'm afraid that it wasn't.
