HISTORY/MARK: G.C.F. Greiner (of Kloster Veilsdort) and Johann Schmidt (of Coburg) sought a concession from the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II to build a true porcelain factory in Tettau, Bavaria in 1793. The factory was established in 1794 and by the 1910’s employed over 600 people producing high quality white porcelain using the kaolin in Thuringia. Many of their products were exported to the USA under their Royal Bayreuth trademark. The company survived both of the World Wars and their associated economic problems and still produces today. PM&M (porcelainmarksandmore website) cites this mark as mark #5/6-24 used 1902-1930.
