We have several pieces of MK Altrohlau CM-R porcelain china in a delicate rose trellis pattern (pink roses and green) with a gold rim around each piece. They are stamped with the stamped logo used at the Altrohlau Porcelain Factories, circa 1918 – 1939. There is a numbered stamp: 1003 then a number 19 imprinted going in a different direction. Looking for the pattern's name.
We have a set of beautiful china with a M Z Czechoslovakia mark but I cannot find what the pattern is called. Where else can I look to find the pattern name?

I found a candy dish when we were cleaning out my mother's house. It has initials ARH written above MZ Altrohlau CM-R czechosovakia with 1924 inscribed below. It also has number 1606 indented. It is white with Blue Birds and flowers and gold trim. Can anyone give me information on this pattern or who made this piece?
A wedding gift in the 1920s. The cups are multicolor pastel pearlized on outside and ivory on the inside with gold trim and handles; the bottom is marked MZ Altrohlau CM-R Czechoslovakia. The set plates, cups, saucers and tea pot. Wondering the pattern and where I might find more info on this set and company?
I have my grandmothers wedding china. It has gold handles on the cups with white insides. The outsede has an oily pattern on it. It looks like the colours oil makes when mixed with water. Any info would be greatly appresiated. The mark is an eagle with a crown on top with the letters M and Z on the tips of the wings with the word czecoslovakia at the bottom.
Thanks for any info provided.
I have a tea cup that was recently given to me, it is pearalized inner cup with gold trim. The detail on the plate and cup which looks like bunches of apples and leaves with the initials ML.

Looking for any information, thank you!

MZ Altrohiau, Czechoslovakia, CM-R, 1688/1 imprinted in china, and K90/29 all in green coloring.

Sounds like we have the same set! Been trying to find info on this set. It belonged to my grandmother and I found some of the set in my Mom's attic. Any advice as to where else to search?
Happy holidays, Theresa,
I have 2 pieces, only, I believe, of the same set that my Mother left me. I have always wanted to know more about the Barley Cannister I have. It has the same markings you described. Do you know if the set is available anywhere to purchase? I would like to know where to begin looking and I thought you might have some ideas. Paul
