Welcome to Porcelain Marks & More!

This homepage does not belong to a company; it's my own privately run site and it offers you a lot of useful information for free (no ads, no pop-ups, no cookies or re-directs, etc.). Paying the monthly bills is quite an issue and YOU can help to keep this free and informative site up and running by donating whatever amount you see fit via PayPal. Simply visit the PayPal site by clicking on the button below (or navigating there yourself if you do not trust links). All donations should go to the PayPal account cmarshall@gmx.de ... thank you !

It should be mentioned here that following the developments during the last half of 2010 certain entries (all of them underlayed red in the oppropriate menus) can only be viewed by registered users, the fee and registration procedure is explained on the NPS Access page. Note that I will still answer eMails with single questions regarding the manufacturers listed there *for free*, after all a visitor with just one item only needs a rough ID/dating and not the complete factory history and such.

Many people ask what to do if they do not know the region of Germany or the exact town where a certain manufacturer was located. Next to actually having to navigate via region and town you can also use either the PM&M Site Search or could try using the Factory Index - both can be found under the 'RESOURCES' header in the menu on the left.

Of course there is a lot of info or rather a number of manufacturers not included on this site yet; either I did not have time to include them or there simply was not enough information for an own page. However I have the info sorted in different directories for future release and you can have a look at the resulting directory list if you want to get a rough idea on how many factories and companies I am talking about.
