<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 302223, member: 50&quot;]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&#039;t show additional marks but the impressed mark, if real, is known.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/germany/thuringia/graefenthal-03/index.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/germany/thuringia/graefenthal-03/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/germany/thuringia/graefenthal-03/index.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b><span style="color: #bfbfbf">&quot; </span><i><span style="color: #808080">V.E.B.
