Mitterteich was the first porcelain factory in the town of Mitterteich in Bavaria, Germany. It was established in 1887 by Ludwig Lindner but was taken over by a glass and porcelain retailer called Max Emanuel & Co. in 1895. I don't see any cracking or any chips, I see a little bit of normal wear like a little paint rubbing off see photos for description but overall this is actually in really good shape for the age of this piece sku d2
