HISTORY/MARKS: Operating in the porcelain business since before 1870, the German born Alexander Klingenberg established a porcelain factory and decorating studio in the 1880’s in Limoges, France on Rue De La Fonderie. Upon his death in 1894, the business was purchased by Charles Dwenger in 1895 and was operated successfully using the AKCD mark until it closed around the time of WWI. They manufactured porcelain and decorated it to appeal for export to the American market. According to Mary Frank Gaston in Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition, this green mark (#7) was used from 1890's-1910.
