Q: I’d like to know the maker of a large porcelain item that has this mark. Can you help?

A: A mark like this was used by Porcelain Factory Weiden Bros. Bauscher. The company was founded by brothers August and Conrad Bauscher in Weiden in 1881 and made porcelain for hotels, railroads, and other commercial use. Lorenz Hutschenreuther Porcelain Factory took over the factory in 1927. The company is still in business, making tableware for hotels, hospitals, and caterers. The mark has been copied and your porcelain item may be by a lesser known factory.
