HALLMARK & MAKER INFO

“M Z” over a crown and double phoenix bird over “Austria.” M W Co. HANDPAINTED. Circa 1898 -1909.

Moritz Zdekauer’s porcelain factory produced this collectible translucent teacup & saucer set between the late 19th Century to the early early 20th Century in Altrohlau, Austria.

M. Z. Austria is the wording on a mark used by Moritz Zdekauer on porcelains made at his works in Altrolau, Austria, from 1884 to 1909. The mark was changed to MZ Altrolau in 1909, when the firm was purchased by C.M. Hutschenreuther. The firm operated under the name Altrolau Porcelain Factories from 1909 to 1945. It was nationalized after World War II. The pieces were decorated with lavish floral patterns and overglaze gold decoration. Full sets of dishes were made as well as vases, boudoir sets, and other wares.
