* "Made in Germany" was first used in 1887 as a way to differentiate German porcelain from English porcelain, which was very popular and competitive with British manufacturers. However, once "Made in Germany" was stamped on the porcelain, buyers looked for that as a mark of EXCELLENCE and often preferred it since it typically meant a piece was WELL DESIGNED and well priced. In 1949, the government of East Germany had their companies use "Made in German Democratic Republic" or "Made in GDR." West German companies changed their marks to "Made in West Germany." When Germany reunited in 1989, the "Made in Germany" backstamp was reinstated.
