A little about Royal Bonn
Royal Bonn was the trade name used by Franz Anton Mehlem, who produced European porcelain in Bonn, Germany, between 1836 and 1931. Both 'Royal' and '1755' were added to the Mehlem pottery mark in the year 1890.
They were used continually until the company was sold to Villeroy & Boch. On June 1st 1920, the potter was bought by Villeroy & Boch and then subsequently closed by them in 1931.
