Fake & Repro Marks:

[1] : Porzellanmanufaktur Neundorf

'Porzellanmanufaktur Neundorf' (formerly also known as 'Neundorf Zierporzellan') is a brand of the Antik 2000 G.m.b.H. from the Bavarian town of Waging am See, which owns four (as they named them) 'factory outlet stores'. Which at first sounds great, but they never produced anything - the most items sold there were actually Asian imports. Similar items (actually the same, only with differently customized marks) can also be found elsewhere, for example on the website of the counterparts to 'Neundorf' in Belgium and the Netherlands. Just like those, the company behind the 'Neundorf' name started off with porcelain items and later started to sell reproduced oil paintings and a wide range of small furniture pieces.

Around August 2011 I heard a rumour which was soon confirmed. The business behind 'Neudorf' must have discussed reclining sales and constantly increasing prices of their Asian suppliers. The last time I checked (mid-January 2012), the website stated that they were not ordering items anymore due to the increased prices and were now merely selling off existing stock. At the same time the website stated that the outlet store in Gelsenkirchen was supposed to close 'in 2013'.
