    Thanks, looks very similar, I have since found that the G with the 2 lines through it means grafenthal which is a german pottery maker.

    This information is included in the link and posssibly may explain the odd combination of marks. If I read correctly, old molds were used to reproduce some pieces. That blue mark is shown as unknown on this site and the text says remakes don't show additional marks but the impressed mark, if real, is known.

    " V.E.B. Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal (1951 until 1972)
    The company was nationalized 1951 and belonged to the ⇒V.E.B. Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal combine together with the ⇒Carl Scheidig K.G.. The group did not use any own marks but continued to use the normal factory versions even if one can find a few items that show the name as a standalone addition to the regular factory mark. It should be noted that during the 1960s the company also reissued many series based on old molds; these remakes do not show additional marks but simply carry the original old marks that were included in the mold, therefore one should compare the state of glazing and the overall color scheme used to verify an item.

    Even if the factory itself was at that point totally run down, only minor modifications were made so that it could at least continue operation. The V.E.B. Porzellanfiguren Gräfenthal was dissolved in 1972 and the defunct factory of Carl Schneiders Erben was finally closed 1973 after finishing the last figurines still made in 1972."

    Bad imitation of one of the Rauenstein marks: three instead of two sideways slashes, wrong color, overglaze, etc.

    Used between 1879 and 1886, the common version with the 'Dep.' addition.
