carolinetyler	posted on August 9, 2005 03:43:09 PM I've looked in a few books for this mark, Kovel's, etc. and haven't found it - I assume it's German since it came from a Meissen and Dresden collection. But how creepy is this! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caroline

sparkz	posted on August 9, 2005 10:18:04 PM That is the trophy that was presented to the champion in the childrens hog riding contest in Bristol, Tennessee in 1976. I bet the recipient would love to get it back. A $75.00 solid state device will always blow first to protect a 25 cent fuse ~ Murphy's Law

carolinetyler	posted on August 10, 2005 05:45:14 AM LOL Not only a baby riding a wart hog - but a naked baby riding a wart hog! I told you it was creepy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caroline
cashinyourcloset	posted on August 10, 2005 10:41:50 AM Caroline, The two "crutches" are the mark of Richard Eckert etc. I have no idea if they later added a mustache or if it is entirely unrelated.
mcjane	posted on August 10, 2005 11:15:12 AM Click on Volkstedt Page 3 http://www.porcelainsite.com/porcelain/marks/ cashinyourcloset They probably added the mustache in honor of Adolph.
cashinyourcloset	posted on August 10, 2005 11:34:08 AM Thanks, great site, how did I miss it? I think Adolf was still painting outhouses at the time the china was made
carolinetyler	posted on August 10, 2005 01:12:37 PM Great site! Just bookmarked it. Thanks for the pic of the mark, it looks close enough, and would make sense since many of the other pieces are Volkstedt. What mark book are you using? I can never find any in the old, old Kovel's book I'm using. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Caroline
cashinyourcloset	posted on August 10, 2005 01:18:39 PM I'm using Kovels' New Dictionary of Marks, copyright 1986. It doesn't have all the variants that are on porcelainsite.com. Claude
