How can I tell if Meissen is real?

How can I tell if Meissen is real?
To tell if Meissen is real, turn it over and examine the mark. Pieces made prior to 1720 will show a logo composed of an interlocking capital A and R. From 1722 onward, Meissen used crossed swords to mark every piece. Find a variety of expertly vetted Meissen pottery on 1stDibs.
