Answer
Stamps on china indicate where they were made. The manufacturer's name will be on most of them. Modern items would have to include the country of origin (by international trade laws or agreements).Some might also have the design or pattern name, or a code for it. Hand-painted items also often have a code mark for the painter, the rest is put on with a stamp.
Very old china often only had scratched marks, not stamps. Some cheaper bulk things also lack a proper stamp. Particularly all-white table china is often not stamped, but the required information is in the mould, so it comes out as "engraved" on the item. This might get filled in with the glaze, so look like there is almost nothing there.
Yours says Bavaria, Germany, so that is where it was made. Johann Haviland is the name of the factory. Johann was the son of Charles, an American who set up a pottery in France (where the clay was suitable for the quality he wanted) to make dinnerware for the US market. Johann branched out with a pottery in Bavaria (another suitable clay area). Both businesses went through many changes of owenrship. The Johann Haviland name is currently owned by Rosenthal, another well-known German pottery.
The bars and asterisks could indicate the batches or production line the particular items came from.
The Blue Garland pattern was first made in 1970, but discontinued in the 80s (when the company changed hands again). Being good quality, and not for "everyday" use, many pieces still exist. Replacements for broken ones are fairly easily available at reasonable prices, if you need to complete a set. (Just Google "Johann Haviland")

will give you an idea how complex the matter of marks is, though it mostly deals with real antiques. Your set would fall under the heading "collectible" but is not old enough to be antique.

is a good site for replacements, probably cheaper and more reliable than trying on Ebay.
It would be a little easier to be sure about the arrows, if you had put in pictures of what you mean. For next time, you can upload pictures to Flickr or Photobucket, then put the links in here.

What did the interior of Titanic look like right after it hit the bottom?
Jordan
Answer
The Grand Staircase was destroyed in Titanic's sinking and is now just a void in the ship which modern explorers have used to access the lower decks. During the filming of James Cameron's Titanic in 1997, his replica of the Grand Staircase was ripped from its foundations by the force of the inrushing water on the set. It has been suggested that during the real event, the entire Grand Staircase was ejected upwards through the dome.
Titanic had in fact split apart, probably near or at the surface, before sinking to the seabed. Both sections hit the sea bed at considerable speed, causing the bow to crumple and the stern to collapse entirely. The bow is by far the more intact section and still contains some surprisingly intact interiors. In contrast, the stern is completely wrecked; its decks have pancaked down on top of each other and much of the hull plating was torn off and lies scattered across the sea floor. The much greater level of damage to the stern is probably due to structural damage incurred during the sinking. Thus weakened, the remainder of the stern was flattened by the impact with the sea bed.
The two sections are surrounded by a debris field measuring approximately 5 by 3 miles (8.0Â km ÃÂ 4.8Â km). It contains hundreds of thousands of items, such as pieces of the ship, furniture, dinnerware and personal items, which fell from the ship as she sank or were ejected when the bow and stern impacted on the sea floor.
