[QUOTE="The Junk Lady's Son, post: 4534750, member: 77873"]I picked up a set of six bowls yesterday, as they were hand painted with a beautiful rose design and are also in great shape.

The stamp is just a red circle with Germany inside it, followed by another circle inside that with the number 75. Other china does have similar marks with other numbers, but the sellers don't have any information to ground their dating.
