unknown mark

I know this is a long shot but let's see.
I have an old milk pitcher white with blue flowers on each side.
The mark is a very faded what looks to be a cottage with a chimney on the
left side. a scroll underneath with some writing that begins with 2 letters
then 4 then1 then a fourth word with 4 or 5 letters. There appears to be a
small cloud or possibly flowers in upper right. There is some writing under
the scroll but I cannot deciper , even with a 20 power loupe.
I don't think my camera will pick up the mark but I will try.

sig didn't help, Bob. I looked last night in my marks books, and
can't come up with anything close to that description.

Do you have access to a scanner? If you place the pitcher on a scanner
and scan it at a high resolution it can sometimes reveal marks that are
hard to see with the naked eye.
Just a suggestion.

Thanks Rhiannon,
I tried with my scanner. Maybe a commercial job would work better. Mine
didn't come out clear. I buy cheap stuff. Ha!

You are always willing to help.
I'll keep searching

Can you trace it, then photograph/scan that?

Tape thin plastic to the bottom of the piece, then go to work with a fine
Sharpie.
OR....trace over it with something that will wash off later. I've ever
used soft
pencil to bring out marks when needed, then erased it later.

I have not yet found the ID of the mark.
I did find a great source of marks on the web however. If you have time
check it out at:
It is a free site and has 1000's of marks. I think I will give up.
(impatient) and just sell the d--- pitcher. Who knows. Maybe someone will
get the buy of the century. Ha!
Thanks for all the help.

Anyone else have any sites to share?

Forest Duck...

good sites Marie. I'm sorry I could not find my mark. My eyes are blurry

Forest Duck...

Thanks Marie,
Back to the web I go.

from looking.

I think the next step is to cruise "that big online auction site", and
look for identically-shaped pieces.

I know what you mean, I was looking for a German mark last night. I must
have gone to 15 web sites with no luck. But once in a while I get lucky
and find what I need. Half the fun is in the running down information
and learning something new.
