[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 3607857, member: 50"]This site shows a MW incised mark and they are saying it's a modern one. I did a flip through the two books of majolica I have without seeing it though that alone really is inconclusive. [URL]https://www.realorrepro.com/article/Majolica--Reproductions[/URL] The firm making the better quality copies fortunately marks their ware with the incised letters MW shown above about actual size. Notice how the mark varies from piece to piece. Also note the new bottoms in both Figs. 15 and 16 are daubed with paint similar to bottoms on old pieces. Both also have random letters and numbers in cobalt blue--obvious in Fig. 16, smudged (above the penny) in Fig. 14.
