Mark appears to be two crossed swords with an S. I'd be grateful of any help with maker and age please. I was thinking 1900ish. Many thanks, Lucy

It is the mark for a factory in Silesia Germany that was founded around 1883 by a Louis Levensohn and for most of its life was known as P. Donath GmbH.

The mark on your souvenir from Great Yarmouth was the factory's first mark that was discontinued around 1897............ due to an injunction by KPM Meissen! So you weren't the first to think it might be Meissen.

So it dates from the early 1890s.

Thanks so much for this.

I'm starting to get a little collection of souvenir ware so any information is of great interest to me.

I think that a fair amount was made in Germany.
