Table is from Kiel Furniture Co. in Milwaukee.  There is a Watertown Slide on it that states it was patented June 18, 1898 - October 1, 1912.  There is a longer number that is only partially legible and a 4 digit number (5559) under that and under the 2nd number is the word local.  I believe the table was purchased used by my family in the late 60's from a neighbor.  Orignally it was stained a dark walnut color.  The veneer top was ruined at some point.  A wood grain formica top was put on to replace the veneer and the dark stain was removed and the wood oiled but not restained.  I would like to know the current value in it's current state.  Any help would be appreciated.

I contacted the expert in Germany to find out about the pottery mark because I was having a difficult time with researching it. Her name is Andrea Hanold and she was more than helpful in identifying the years it was manufactured and has authored a book on Schonwald porcelain. She said it was the form rom and that the decorcation  looked to be made for the export?
