HISTORY/MARKS: The "RS" initials stand for Reinhold Schlegelmilch, founder of the porcelain factory specializing in hard paste porcelain at Suhl in Prussia which is present-day Germany. The work of his two sons, Arnold and Erhard, made the mark bearing his initials famous. Arnold operated the Suhl factory while Erhard established a porcelain factory in Tillowitz, Germany in 1894. Arnold closed the porcelain factory in Suhl in December 1917, due to World War I and a shortage of people skilled in the making of such hard paste porcelain.

He joined Erhard at the Tillowitz factory which operated as part of Reinhold Schlegelmilch Enterprise until the death in 1934 of both brothers. The factory in Tillowitz remained opened under Schlegelmilch control (under sons of Arnold and finally Arnold's granddaughter) until 1945 when it came under the administration of Poland after WWII.
