I'm no expert on these but the colour and style of those markings look very different to the others posted and those i've seen myself. ?

Here's my one bowl. Dug up in pieces a couple of years ago by myself here in North Norway. Interestingly, where this was dug up there were no SS units at the time it was disgarded, in fact i can say with great confidence that it came from an area used by GJR 141 of the 6 GD in 1945. I think it may originally have come from the 6 SS-GD 'Nord', left behind as they retreated through the area in late 1944. The units returning to the continent had to leave behind a large amount of equipment and it would make sense that the army's 6 GD would have made use of what was left behind as they themselves lost a lot of equipment on the Murmansk front.
I also know of further SS-Reich porcelain being brought up by divers in the area. Not from a wreck but some of the large amounts of materiel dumped during the summer of '45.
