Addy, Could it have been produced by the Jersey company prior to the war, perhaps late thirties? I'd say from your photo it looks legit, though, highly unusual. After all, you couldn't swing a dead cat in Germany without hitting some kind of porcelain manufacturer! One of the more interesting pieces of tableware I've seen in a while. It'd be interesting to do a background check on J. Edwards & Sons, are they by chance still operating today? That's a very neat little unit, thanks for letting us have a look. Best! Bill
