Featured Helena Wolfsohn or earlier Meissen Augustus Rex Urn

I have two large urns (24" tall) with the Augustus Rex maker mark on the bottom. How do I know whether it was decorated by Helena Wolfsohn or if it is an earlier piece?

 

nice urns !

 

Meissen used a mark like that VERY early on. I don't know enough to know who made the urns though.

 

Thank you!

 

Yea, me neither lol

Thank you. I also used google image search and incurred mixed findings. I agree the link you shared shows the similar mark, size of the urns, and subject matter. I've found similar marks on Helena Wolfsohn decorated porcelain.

 

Both Wolfson and Samson manufactured reproductions and/or imitations.

 

Yep. That's partly what makes this more difficult than I imagined
