Work discussion

[edit]

@Johnbod: I think I've just about exhausted Google Books in my search for decent material for the original manufactory, and I've only got two books with sections on the manufactory's marks, both from the 1900s. I don't have any more resources, except Marshall, on the ducal manufactory, so I'll be moving on to "Later companies." –Vami_IV† 08:10, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think about a section for Ludwigsburg manufactory porcelain markings? There's documentation (aforementioned 1900s books and Marshall) on them and there's a reference to one marking in the lead. –Vami_IV† 08:10, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I think lots of detail about the complicated subjects of marks should be left to the specialist books & websites. But a bit more could be added. I think it's a good length now, & without more on the wares of the classic period can be left for now. It's bad that Höchst porcelain remains a redlink, as do other smaller factories.

Corrections

[edit]

@Johnbod: Hello, what does the sentence you reverted mean? That the range was similar to that of other factories? That is not clear. Jmar67 (talk) 23:55, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"similar to" is unclear? Johnbod (talk) 01:18, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, that wasn't clear either. I meant that it is not clear from the sentence as written that it has this meaning. When I first read the sentence I had no idea what it meant. After your correction it occurred to me that it might mean what I wrote. If the existing sentence is a translation from German, what is the German version? Thanks.

What wasn't clear? You had no idea what "A similar range of wares was made to other German factories" meant? Really? There is no original in German. Johnbod (talk) 14:13, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My reply wasn't clear. But I honestly did not understand the sentence. The words "similar" and "to" are not close enough to evoke that association and "made to" throws me off entirely. I would rephrase it to "The range of wares was similar to that of other German factories." Jmar67 (talk) 15:12, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
