Mark View M150817

Although this one looks convincingly German, it is merely an imposter mark trying to appear German or Germany-related. Some of the patterns used include "Lavender" (no number), "Herb Garden" (No.46418), "Paradise Valley" (No.32196), "Viola" (No.34758).

Comment(s)

Terms such as "DISHWASHER PROOF", "FREEZER TO OVEN", or "MICROWAVE SAFE" clearly show that these items are not that old. "DISHWASHER PROOF" (note the difference to "DISHWASHER SAFE"), for example, is defined in the 2001 European standard DIN/EN 12875 and was quickly replaced by registered symbols to improve international use.
