    Cluttered - that is the number 39 that was mentioned in the context of the start of WWII.

    I cannot imagine what you are going to write back to the friend who sent the pictures. :-(

    Bookahtoo said the other mark is the number 39, sideways, not a crown or anything useful.

    That's OK, Gila. I'm here to learn.

    This looks similar to things made by Schafer and Vater in Germany. Have you looked in that direction?

    Imagine seeing that on your breakfast table. Seriously, who would use these?

    Good question, Bev... maybe just very flamboyant, bombastic, rash, brash people?
    Donald Trump types? Marilyn Manson types? Lady Gaga types?

    I have a Sarreguemines Black Bill pitcher that I use for gravy. My grandson hates it and wants me to get rid of it, so I shouldn't criticize.

    This is my personal favorite. One piece I doubt I will ever sell....

    I think this is called "Long Legs" but I've never found another just like it. I love the humor of a lot of Shafer and Vater things. Many are very cute!
