Thanks for the link!

Made me aware that the Heckel brasses are from another branch of the family located in Dresden.

Lived in Wiesbaden for over 5 years . . . Yes, they're still doing their thing there with that German attention to detail. Mainz (and Alexander) is just across the river and is doing likewise for the brasses . . .
