    Found these at the neighbor's estate sale today. They are beautiful but I am having trouble finding the manufacturer. Does anyone recognize the mark?

    Antique Von Schierholz (?)

    The Von Schierholz porcelain factory was established in 1815 in Plaue, Thuringia, East Germany.

    In the early days of the factory it was controlled by the sovereign, Gunther Friedrich Carl I, from his castle at Sondershausen. The concession to operate the factory was granted to the German entrepreneur and manor owner Christian Gottfried Schierholz (1787-1851) of Dornheim. At that time, the factory was located South of Arnstadt, and Schierholz relocated a part of the production to Dornheim. Later on, his son Julius Adelbert became a shareholder, and the company was renamed in C.G. Schierholz & Sohn. Hugo, the younger son, also took part in the company. The porcelain manufactory painted and burned porcelain in Dornheim for a period of 18 years. The factory was operated by the original Schierholz family until 1972 when it was nationalized. In 1990 the Von Schierholz family reacquired the factory which now operates under the name Plaue.

    The factory produced high quality Dresden ware and is most famous for ornate Meissen-like and rococo pieces trimmed with gilt and flowers. Von Schierholz is also known for highly collectible character steins - beer mugs with decorative faces, often of famous people. In the early 1900's Von Schierholz began exporting its finest decorative pieces worldwide, including to New York City.

    According to factory accounts, the triple oak leaf mark was adopted in 1899 and the shield-like frame and crown was added in 1910 and used through the mid 1920's.
