<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 9961446, member: 29"]Made in Germany CAN be MCM, although this isn't. Whilst the DDR invariably used DDR or ocasionally East/Eastern Germany as a marking, West German items can be simply marked (made in) Germany. I've had a fair few, incuding Rosenthal. Seems to be more common on 70s and after stuff, when the political climate for reunification took traction. The DDR was deeply proud of being in the Soviet bloc so made sure items were unmistakeable. West Germans wanted the rest of their country back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
