IEN KERAMOS
Wien is Austrian for "Vienna," and there are a number of porcelain companies sometimes known simply as Wien. This web site will address two: Augarten Wien and Wien Keramos.
Wien Keramos was sometimes contracted by Ebeling & Reuss to provide pieces for importation.
The Keramos factory has been in production since 1929 but the shield/banner mark most commonly seen has been used since 1945. -- Information provided by Kathy Williams.
