I could not walk away from this gorgeous piece. I think it’s Royal Bonn, but I’m hoping to find out what the numbers mean.

The 'Royal Bonn' brand was used between 1890 and 1919 by the factory of Franz Anton Mehlem in Bonn, founded in 1836.

Over the years, there have been several brands, applied in different ways. Sometimes the brand is embossed with a stamp, sometimes with an ink stamp and sometimes completely hand-painted. The brand often contains a stylized monogram of the letters FAM, which resemble a double AA or AN.

In 1920 the company was bought by Villeroy & Boch. The factory went bankrupt in 1931.

The mark on your vase was used roughly between 1875 and 1890, crowned shield with stylized "FAM" and "1755", here without "Bonn". Your vase is older than Royal Bonn.
