Appraiser Remarks
The marking indicates your vases are late 19th Century examples made by the Von Schierholz Porcelain Factory, Plaue, Thuringia, Germany, they used this double crossed marking from c.1865-1911.
Several other marks were used by them, the latest being designed in 1973 after the factory was nationalized and renamed behind the Soviet iron curtain. the comany has been renamed "Porcelain Manufactory Plaue", which is a far as we know still in operation.
Vases like this were made in very large numbers for the Export market during the last quarter of the 19th Century (1875-1900).
Values last peaked for porcelain of this type during the early 1990's. Since then values and demand for Victorian porcelain has declined a great deal, with comparable pairs of vases to yours selling at auction for under $200.00
