<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paulsspangle, post: 73354, member: 874&quot;]Yes, Kentworld, they&#039;re painted marks. According to both the Antiques Roadshow chap and the European ceramics expert who he suggested I consult for further verification this indicates that the plates were decorated outside of the Meissen factory. Their assessment was that the place of decoration was probably Dresden and that this would be owing to the pressure of work upon Meissen - there were three sets of this service, each consisting of circa 400 pieces, and these were being made in addition to the regular Meissen factory workload.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
