A. C. Angers founded a
porcelain factory in 1848, sometime in the late 1800s M. J. Moehling became the
owner. The company appears to have changed owners several more times over
the years and finally by 1918 the company was known as Aich, Menzel & Company
or Porzellanfabrik Aich. 1918 is
also when the company first began
to produce bisque head dolly face, dolls most with composition bodies.
This manufacturer's mark is sometimes
mistaken for Armand Marseille's, so collectors refer to this company
as "Austria's AM". Doll mold and doll marks 1904
AeM Made in Austria (1904 is the mold number, not a date),
A & M Austria or Eduardo Juan Made in Austria, have all been
attributed to Aich, Menzel & Company of Austria.
