Beyond using maker's marks to identify your Bavarian china, you can also clearly identify most Monbijou plates based on their unique scalloped edges. These plates are typified by their almost petal like sectioning, which is edged in a scalloped manner.

On many Edelstein Bavaria items, you’ll see some numbers marked along with the trademarks on the underside, as shown below. These numbers are either stamped in with black ink or gilded. The five-digit number stamp on Edelstein China is the original pattern code assigned by the factory.
