Crown PM Porcelain East Germany, Martinroda Mark
The Crown PM Factory had its upstart in 1900 in the town of Martinroda, German Thuringia. The Founders were father and son, Friedrich and Herrmann Eger. Most of the porcelain was produced and exported to America.
Production was halted at the beginning of WWII and resumed in 1946 as the Lichte (V.E.B. Zierporzellan Lichte). And in 1977, the factory was purchased and owned by Ilmenau Porzellanwerk.
In 1990, the factory was back into the owner's hands renaming it Porzellanfabrik Martinroda Frierich Eger & Co.
I have a piece of Crown PM dating back to the 1960's with the Crown PM mark in Gold, made in East Germany. The mark is hard to see, so I included a picture of a black and white mark underneath.
This mark was used for a very short period of time (1969-1972) and this is hard to find.
Impressed is the Number 3026 and stamped in gold is the Crown, the letters PM, Made in East Germany, and the number 16.
It's a mint green border with a lighter center with gold edging, filigree pattern in the middle, with a pink rose bouquet.
It measures 5" long x 3-1/2" wide. No cracks or chips.
