Mysterious pottery markings

[Dashdown]

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have to be honest, this isn't generally a hobby of mine but I have been left several pieces of pottery by a relative and I have no idea what they are so I'm looking for some help please? Any ideas as to what this is (may very well be junk and is certainly very damaged) would be very much appreciated. Thanks

That’s rather splendid. It’s Majolica-ware and the bridge with two towers plus a stylised ‘G’ is a late 19th Century mark attributed to Julius Greiner & Sohn of Bodenbach, in operation from 1871. Some fleabay sellers say this is Dresden-ware and some say it’s Czech/Bohemian, but it’s neither. The confusion probably arises from the fact that there are two municipalities in Germany called ‘Bodenbach’ and it was also the old German name for what is now ‘Podmokly’ in the Czech Republic. However, Greiner operated from another town, also called Bodenbach, in Austria.
