[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 423305, member: 85"]Most likely it is a Japanese import made to look like German porcelain. Two clues. The Crown A is not under the glaze, it is over the glaze. That would mean it is the decorators mark, may or may not be the maker of the mold. Also notice the remnants of a paper label. Oval and just the right size for "Made in Japan" stickers that were around in the 50s and 60s. [ATTACH=full]147974[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
