Hi Mark
I have handled something like this before and believe it is a reproduction or fantasy item.
It will be interesting to see what other members who collect pottery think
Cheers

This is a 100% original one. Not the quite same stamp but then again I cannot say if yours is good or bad since I am not that into porcelain. BTW my is-was for sale on the forum...Comment

Mark,
I originally thought the ash tray was good and the markings good. However, when I saw the tea pot, it is clearly a fake. No third reich organization used the swastika in that format. The DAF was similar but not the same. I would be weary of both now simply because of the tea pot. Nevertheless, the markings on the ash tray look good to me as being authentic. Check out my SS porcelain for comparisons. Here is the link:
