Three Graces, Diana Vase

Q I have a vase called ”Three Graces, Diana.” It’s marked with a crown with the year 1891 above it, the letter ”E” on one side and ”S” on the other, and ”Germany” below. Can you tell me who made this vase and how old it is?

A This mark was used by Erdmann Schlegelmilch Porcelain Factory in Suhl, Thuringia, Germany. The factory was founded by Leonard Schlegelmilch in 1861 and named after his late father, Erdmann. Decorative and household porcelain, coffee and tea sets, and figurines were made. Porcelain bodies for perfume lamps were also made. Production declined during the Great Depression and the factory closed in 1937.
