Just want to start by saying that I am by no mean's an expert but do recognize the Meissen mark Both are damaged or in need of repair and are being sold as is with no returns He is in better condition than she is please see photos for all damage in case I missed something but the obvious damage that I saw is that his right hand appears to have been repaired or replace of poor quality and his hat is chipped. She appears to have held something in both hands? Her skirt is cracking have no idea what is going on there and not sure but she may have had lace on color hat skirt ect. His mark is shown in last photo and is very hard to see there are other marks on her in crayon? Please feel free to ask questions look at photos closely thank youSold as isOn Sep-08-21 at 16:09:53 PDT, seller added the following information:I was recently contacted by another buyer who said this is most likely Choisy le Roi a French manufacture who was sued by Meissen for using the cross sword mark. There are two Choisy Le Roi company's one only made pottery mostly Italian Majolica the other company made French porcelain and is the one that was sued by Meissen for using their mark. As stated above I am not an expert but wanted to add this new information. The commenters on this blog seem equally confused as to the origin of the mark. If anyone else knows I would greatly appreciate the input. https:///threads/meissen-crossed-swords-mark.46256/I'm just quoting from the link anundverkaufen provided: Choisy-le-Roy (France -- Seine) Founded in 1786 -- By: M. Clément Used From: 1786 -- 1886 In 1886, after an official complaint by Meissen, Choisy-le-Roy was forbidden to make further use of the crossed swords mark. I can't vouch for its accuracy, but seems to be a pretty reliable source. I have run into similar porcelain that is in the same decoration style, and I believe it to be 19th century French. Jeff Drum, Jan 27, 2020#13+ QuoteReply blooey Well-Known Member Yes, I read that link and yes, that is the mark etc. I just don't agree that the porcelain bearing that mark was made at Choisy-le-Roy. The pottery maybe, but not the porcelain which I think is a mis-attribution - perhaps universally (internet) accepted, but nevertheless incorrect. In fact, I would be very surprised to see ANY French porcelain decorated in the Deutsche Blumen style - apart from mis-attributed Choisy-le-Roy articles and Samson copies of Meissen originals.

(Cited from: https:///threads/meissen-crossed-swords-mark.46256/ )Well, maybe this will clarify things. There are two different companies, Choisy-le-roi and Choisy-le-roy. It is the Choisy-le-roi company that made mostly majolica. The other company, Choisy-le-roy is the one that antique-marks is talking about using the Meissen-like mark. I don't know whether that is true or not, or what they are basing their citation on, or even how reliable antique-marks is. So you could be right that this is a mis-attribution? Does antique-marks have other known problems? Nevertheless, the Choisy-le-roy company is documented in other reliable sources. Kovels Pottery and Porcelain 1650 to 1850 has a mark for Choisy-le-roy described as "France, Hard-paste porcelain, established 1785". The online site has the same mark as Kovels for the Choisy-le-roy company, 30 below, and they also have the Choisy-le-roi mark, 31 below: (Cited from: https:///threads/meissen-crossed-swords-mark.46256/ )On Sep-0... read more
