Meissen
Johann Friedrich Bottger created a white porcelain in a Dresden, Germany, laboratory in 1709 that rang out with a clear and bright tone. A porcelain factory was founded in Meissen in 1710 and started production.
Meanwhile, in 1722, the Meissen Manufacturing Company introduced the concept of trademark rights for the first time by drawing a blue sword mark that assumed the Saxony region.
On this page, I listed some marks from my collection and similar marks of Meissen.
And I will tell you the meaning of two scratches.

Scratches on the mark
You can see two incised lines that indicate a factory second.
It's really hard to find flaws. Anyway, it's not the first quality.

These marks are very similar or indicate I am "Meissen", but they are not.
In my opinion, even though they are not Meissen, Some of them are very old and nice.
