There are  numerous antique copies, which are often as magnificent as the authentic ones.  Franziska Hirsch was another prolific maker of Dresden & Meissen ware, ca 1890s - 1930, and used a "feathered H" mark, again a symbol of high quality and standards, although not authentic Meissen. Edme Samson, another copycat who was as successful in his native Paris, France, created “true” reproductions of Meissen pieces down to the finest details.
