RGK Czeckoslovakia –Bernadotte
RGK Czeckoslovakia - Bernadotte
1928 - 1939
This was a present from my friend Gen.
This is what I found about the pottery makers:
"Egerlander Porcellanfabrik, Elbogen, GmbH, Loucky, Czech Republic (Grunlas, Bohemia, Austria)
1907 founded by Benjamin F Hunt & Son of Boston, who had previously had an interest in Benjamin f Hunt & Son in Locket; its name was Egerlander Porcellanfabrik Elbogen, Gmbh.
1908 the owners were Ludwig Engel & Son.
1911 Richard Kampf bought the factory and Richard Dieterle became a partner, the name was Porzellanfabrik Rudolf Kampf GmbH, Grunlas, and the brand RGK. The letters RGK stand for Rudolf Kampf of Grunlas.
1945 The company was nationalized into Slavkovský Porcelán
1953 It was transferred to the company "Bohemia"
1958 It became part of Karlovarský Porcelán independent plant 04.
1992 the company was privatized as Leander 1946.
It is presently known as Leander, Porcelán, Loucky, sro (Ltd.)."

This is the first German tea cup of my collection. Very pretty.
I have been trying to get more information about the pottery make, but no luck yet.
Thanks to the kind contribution of marysuehil who left a comment on this post, I have found out that the gold mark of this cup was used between 1900 and 1969.
Take a look here for reference.

Foreign - Japanese
Willow pattern porcelain tea cup

This is a very nice porcelain tea cup. I recently found out about the Willow pattern story, very interesting.
This piece is unmarked so I can't tell when it was produced, I can only say it is porcelain.

Genuine Samurai china - Japan
Meikei - hand painted Japanese tea cup
Meikei - Japan
Beautifully hand painted.
I was absolutely stunned when I saw this tea cup! the hand painted work is unbelievable.
I tried to find more information about it on the internet, but there's very little. I contacted Mikari, a dear friend who lives in Japan and who kindly helped me to find out about this piece.
It's part of the Satsuma ware, depicting "Bosatsu" (godess of compassion) in the center, accompanied by the 4 gods of power.
The crest in the top center represents the "Simatzu family".
If you know more about this ware, please let me know.
