I have found a mark that I do not think is Meissen as the seller claims. Please help. Two lines intersect with a cross ways mark through where the 2 ines meet in the middle. (Like a x mark with a line through the middle of the x). Then there is an 8 of maybe a S between the 2 lines in the open space above where they intersect. Is this the real deal?
Thanks,Becky

Hello, your article was very informative. I have a question about the images on the top of the article. The first mark (Gardner) is that an image of a fake? I was in the market to purchase a pair of urns on ebay and the stamp on the bottom of the urns was the same as the first image on the top of the article. I have never seen a blue/black gardner stamp, only red, and I was concerned that those might be fakes.
The urns themselves are beautiful and it would be a shame if they are fakes. Are there blue or black marks as well as the red ones that the Gardner factory stamped on their porcelain?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Please help me. I have recently aquired come china from my grandmother and was wondering what or who the maker was. The mark has no name or date. It is just a golden square with what looks to be two stalks of corn inside of it. It might not be corn but that is what it looks like. The pattern on the china is that of an Asian house and rice field. She said that it came to her in the 1940s from Europe. Please help me. Thank you.
