Q Can you give me guidance on this creamer that is shaped like a red devil? It’s marked Royal Bayreuth with a lion holding a shield.

A Royal Bayreuth made some of Germany’s most famous?and fun?antique porcelain. Royal Bayreuth is the name Americans use for porcelain that has been made since 1794 at the Royal Privileged Porcelain Factory in Tettau, Bavaria, Germany. It is the oldest porcelain factory in Bavaria still in operation. The company made jars, pitchers and teapots shaped like fruits, leaves, flowers, animals and people, as well as dinnerware sets, vases and decorative plates and bowls. Your 4 1/2-inch-high red-glazed devil creamer was made between 1900 and 1915 and examples have sold at auction over the past five years from $90 to $325.
