Erphila is a mark found on Czechoslovakian and other pottery and porcelain made after 1920. This mark was used on items imported by Ebeling & Reuss of Philadelphia, a
giftware
firm that was founded in 1866 and out of business sometime after 2002. The mark is a combination of the letters E and R (Ebeling & Reuss) and the first letters of the city, Phila
(
delphia
). Erphila is one of many marks used by American importers. Many whimsical figural pitchers and creamers, figurines, platters, and other gift wares carry this mark.
