The following information is from the site "China Chat"(FIGURINES SCULPTURE, POTTERY MARKS, FINE CHINA (figurines-sculpture.com):
"Favorite Bavaria" was a mark used by the well-known C. Hutschenreuther company in Bavaria, Germany. The mark was used as a special export mark for the US market (note the American spelling of the word 'favorite' and different from the traditional spelling of the British and British domiciles - 'favourite').
The US based importers of these wares were the Burley & Tyrrell Co of Chicago, Illinois.
It is registered that a decorating studio by the name of Jacob H. Stouffer from Adeline, Illinois was taking whiteware with a "Favorite China" backstamp and decorating it in the US. His studio, based in Chicago was in operation from 1905 - 1952. Stouffer was known to employ some of the best decorators and artisans of the time.
