In recent decades
antique porcelain collectors have increasingly sought after pieces
bearing the celebrated Prussian porcelain marks, with the letters "RS" in red
encircled by a green wreath beneath a red five-pointed star. "RS" are
the initials for Reinhold Schlegelmilch, the private owner of a
porcelain factory in Suhl, Germany that was founded in the late 19th
century-at a time when demand for European porcelain from abroad was
nearing its peak.

The following images are a survey of the marks on items for sale on various internet antique sites on 10/05/2006. All items were represented to be "RS Prussia" or "RS Germany". However, We do not make any claim to know the authenticity of these marks as valid Belleek and not imitations. They are presented here as guidelines only.
