Parian ware figurine mark

Hello,

Would appreciate any input on what this mark on my figurine is. It appears to be an S and C with two lines through the letters. The figurine is a small parian ware old woman with a basket on her back. There is also an impressed mark "DR 308" on the underside of the base. I would be thankful for any information that anyone might have on this.

Thank you!

 

According to Rontgen, this is a company called Dresden Art Publishers 1909-18. Not a mark I've encountered before.

Check the site Porcelain Marks and More.

 

Roentgen, bah! I have a complete essay talking about the dangers of translating company and factory names anchored on my site, see "The Translation Bug", http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/resources/essays/translation-bug.php).

The English mark description in this case is not only wrong in its dating, it is generally misleading and incomplete. Not only was the date range 1908-1912, the mark in itself belonged to the factory of Richard Eckert from Volkstedt (RWZR #115256).

Next to this factory Eckert operated a minor art gallery in the city of Dresden which included a small porcelain decoration room and not only offered the service of firing items (re)decorated by hobbyists but also offered an assortment of blank versions of the figures made at his factory in Volkstedt. As to avoid confusion between his own figures and those created at the gallery, shown mark was used.
