Ditmar Urbach	Permalink

Identified as Ditmar Urbach. (Thanks to members ginni and csmarshall.) Ginni writes, "Ditmar-Urbach, Znojmo, in Moravia of the Czech Republic (formerly Znaim, Moravia, Austria) did have a ink stamp of a swan on three lines of water from 1920 to 1945, but I do not find a foil label for them." According to Marshall, this sticker "was used after 1930 but still in the period of Richard Lichtenstern (ended 1945). The swan mark was introduced by Ditmar-Urbach and later adapted and continued by both the (then Czech) Teplitz and Wilhelmsburg facilities." For more on this company, see ginni's site. -- Edited by Athena MM at 08:43, 2006-10-26 __________________

Identified as Übelacker Zierkeramik. (Thanks to csmarshall.) Marshall notes that this sticker was used around 1962 by Übelacker Zierkeramik (a.k.a. Ü-Keramik) from Ransbach-Baumbach (Rhineland-Palatinate). The company operated under that name from 1955 until 1990.
